The History of Bioplasty

Bioplasty had its beginning in the United States, in the 90's, with the American surgeon Dr. Robert Ersek. He described the use of the product Bioplastique, a biocompatible polymeric, as well as the use of blunt-tipped stems for the injections. Dr. Ersek described the ideal characteristics of the materials that can be used in Bioplasty.

Bioplasty had great development in Brazil, with the surgeon Dr. Almir Nácul. He's taken the technique to its current state, adapting the new product (PMMA) that fills out the ideal characteristics established by Ersek. He's developed microcannulas and appropriate materials for each use, besides the Nácul's cannula , utilized in the local anesthesia of the face and of the buttocks. He's also enlarged Bioplasty applications, developing the experience that made this method available.

Naturale Clinic, pioneer in Brazil in the use of Botox in the hiper-hidrose treatment, in the surgery of varicose veins with LASER, in Crioescleroterapy, and in several other important techniques, continues in the vanguard and already offers Bioplasty in its two 2 clinics.

Miguel Francischelli Neto MD, PhD, Head of the Naturale Clinic, already performs the new technique of Bioplasty with polymethymethacrylate microspheres: PMMA.
