Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I am trying to find out the ingredients in Macrolane........if its processed it cant be good......anyway ran across this......and I am wondering, if it is made up of human collagen, where do they get it? dead people? black market ? is it tested for aids, and other spreadable things ? is there DNA in it? if so, can that screw up your dna? If there are active cancer cells in there, can it give cancer to people it is injected in to ? I believe the cosmetic industry has gone above and beyond too far ! ! http://www.lipaugmentation.com/temporaryinjectables.htm CosmoPlast™ Human-Based Collagen is a sterile device composed of highly purified human-based collagen that is crosslinked with glutaraldehyde, and dispersed in phosphate-buffered physiological saline containing 0.3% lidocaine. From FDA New Device Approval Notification: "CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast Human-Based Collagen implants are sterile injectable liquids made of highly purified human collagen, a natural protein that supports the skin. They’re injected into the skin to correct soft tissue defects such as wrinkles and acne scars. These products also contain lidocaine, which numbs the skin at the site of injection. CosmoDerm is used for minor skin defects. CosmoPlast is used for more serious defects." --credit: http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/mda/docs/p800022s050.html glutaraldehyde.........this is one ingredient in it.........ck this out............ Glutaraldehyde http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/etools/hospital/hazards/glutaraldehyde/glut.html Potential Hazard Exposure of employees to glutaraldehyde. Glutaraldehyde is a toxic chemical that is used as a cold sterilant to disinfect and clean heat-sensitive medical, surgical and dental equipment. It is found in products such as Cidex, Aldesen, Hospex, Sporicidin, Omnicide, Matricide, Wavicide and others. Glutaraldehyde is also used as a tissue fixative in histology and pathology labs and as a hardening agent in the development of x-rays.Long-term (chronic) effects: Glutaraldehyde is a sensitizer. This means some workers will become very sensitive to glutaraldehyde and have strong reactions if they are exposed to even small amounts. Workers may get sudden asthma attacks with difficult breathing, wheezing, coughing, and tightness in the chest. Prolonged exposure can cause a skin allergy and chronic eczema, and afterwards, exposure to small amounts produces severe itching and skin rashes. It has been implicated as a possible cause of occupational asthma.Delicious ideas to please the pickiest eaters. Watch the video on AOL Living.
