The Secret To Looking Naturally Young: Everything You Need To Know About Teoxane
Gone are the days of frozen foreheads and expressionless brows; a new dermal filler promises a youthful look without having to go under the knife
Ever wondered how everyone around you suddenly has a smooth complexion, luminous glow and pillow-plump lips? Complementing a healthy lifestyle and proper use of SPF is the magic of meticulously injected dermal fillers. Over the past few years tweakment culture has very much gone mainstream; today’s injectables favour a well-rested and refreshed aesthetic. The key is using safe and high-quality dermal fillers – enter Teoxane.
Founded by CEO Valérie Taupin in 2003, Teoxane prioritises innovation and industry expertise. Using 100 per cent non-animal origin, and cruelty-free and biodegradable hyaluronic acid, the environment factors heavily into the company’s decision-making process. The brand is a pioneer in the recognition of the benefits of hyaluronic acid, which range from anti-aging to collagen production and hydration. Recently they have added a cosmeceuticals line of skincare to their offerings, creating a complete regime that addresses the needs of a patient’s skin following a cosmetic procedure.
Nazila Zoulfaghari, Vice President of Teoxane MENA and a regional expert on the art of dermal fillers, shared her expert knowledge with team Bazaar here…
Harper’s Bazaar Arabia (HBA )Have you seen a change in the demand for fillers over the past few years?
Nazila Zoulfaghari (NF): Fashion and beauty trends, inspired by celebrity culture across social media, are expanding the market space of aesthetics. People are looking to optimise their overall wellness, with beauty becoming a prominent priority. The pandemic increased the desire for cosmetic enhancements as appearances on Zoom calls and FaceTime became a real necessity.
HBA: What should patients know before going in for dermal filler treatment?
NF: Investing time in selecting your practitioner and researching the array of available products is key. Like any choice, a good decision is one that requires review and thought. It’s common for people to look at the price point, however, I recommend selecting the best practitioner and right product to maximise the artistry of aesthetic procedures. Teoxane offers a range of award-winning hyaluronic acid gels, designed to treat different layers of the face and allows practitioners to combine the right depth, with the right technique and the right product. This gives practitioners the flexibility to offer patients a tailored solution to optimise both natural and dynamic results.

Teoxane Cosmeceuticals has been created to support patients recovering from dermal filler procedures
HBA: How is Teoxane different from the other dermal fillers on the market?
NF: For those who are afraid to alter their natural appearance, believing that their facial expressions could be adversely affected, Teoxane has a patent technology called Resilient Hyaluronic Acid, (RHA). The RHA® Series is designed to be resilient and adapt to the movement of the facial muscles, protecting the product from degradation, and providing undetectable natural results in line with both the dynamic movement and static rest of the face.
HBA: How does the Teoxane Cosmeceuticals range work to support the professional aesthetic procedures?
NF: Teoxane Cosmeceuticals further complements our HA dermal filler offering, integrating our patented RHA technology to create a complete skincare regimen that addresses the vulnerability of a patient’s skin following a procedure and optimises outcomes. We have succeeded in creating a more resilient hyaluronic acid gel.
HBA: In your opinion, is there a ‘right’ age to start dermal fillers?
NF: Generally, from the age of 21 and above, males and females are best suited for HA filler treatments to delay the signs of ageing. HA fillers help prevent the signs of ageing by enhancing and contouring your natural expressions which are what our RHA series of fillers are designed to do. This avoids the frozen look that many other fillers can provide.
