Juvaplus launches new robotic syringe for toxin injection
Swiss medical technology company Juvaplus has created a robotic syringe to provide a safer alternative to manual injection of botulinum toxin.
CE-marked Juvapen Expert has been designed to streamline and perfect botulinum toxin injections, claiming to offer clinicians greater accuracy and precision than has previously been nearly impossible to achieve.
The light and flexible robotic syringe, which is customisable for each application, reduces the margin of error when injecting small doses of toxin, known as microdosing.
Juvapen Expert’s internal mechanisms produces a constant homogenous flow so that the toxin distributes evenly across the designated area, reducing pain, discomfort and visible swelling.
Aesthetic plastic surgeon and Aesthetic Medicine editorial board member Mr Ali Ghanem uses the device. He said: It has become an integral part of my daily practice. My patients are both impressed and amazed by the difference in comfort this high-tech piece of equipment makes to their injectable experience, especially when I explain the added benefits with regard to its precision in dosing and anatomy.
“All of my patients claim the ‘robot’ – as we nickname it – has a lighter touch and, in many cases, have stated that it is completely painless compared to manual injections. For these reasons I use it routinely now. Overall, I believe it’s a far more patient-friendly way to administer botulinum toxin and other injectables for the most accurate results.”
Juvapen first launched in 2016 with the Juvapen Classic model. It has since been altered and the technology updated for re-release as Juvapen Expert. It will be officially launched at AMWC Monaco in September 2021.
