Reinventing Aesthetic Medicine with
Biocompatible, All-Natural Silk

Silk Medical Aesthetics Inc. is a medical dermal filler company pioneering a versatile new platform in volume correction based on biocompatible, all-natural silk.

It is the first time silk has been used in volume correction, a breakthrough made possible by the company's patented invention of Activated SilkTM Technology: pure, all-natural silk protein in liquid form. It’s anticipated to be the most biocompatible form of silk available today.

  • The technology platform will aim to support multiple product indications as it affords advanced material properties that have not previously existed. The product portfolio is designed for the treatment of wrinkles and scars on the face, body and hands across a variety of skin depths.
  • Natural silk may provide advanced product benefits, including: more precise control of swelling, decreased redness and inflammation following injection, decoupling filler longevity from gel elasticity and cross-linking density, and advanced optical properties for superficial skin targeting.
  • The platform is the company's first step toward creating new implantable natural biomaterial systems from Activated SilkTM Technology, an organically and sustainably manufactured product.

Product not available for sale. Clinical trials will begin in 2019.

Clinical trials for the platform’s first indication will begin in 2019.
