Hello beautiful people, today I want to talk about a new filler that has just landed in the UAE, and one I was proud to be the first practitioner in the country to inject into patients. It is a reversible hybrid filler, built differently to the hyaluronic acid formulas most patients already know, and it is worth understanding properly before the hype around it gets ahead of the facts.
My clinic did not invent this treatment. What I can share, from hands-on experience, is what it actually is, how it works, and why it still holds onto one of the most important safety features patients look for in any injectable: reversibility.

This filler is a crosslinked carboxymethylcellulose formula, which is why Dr Rami Haidar describes it as a hybrid injectable rather than a standard dermal filler. Traditional dermal fillers are built around a single job: adding volume immediately. Collagen biostimulators work differently, encouraging the skin to rebuild its own collagen over weeks and months rather than delivering an instant change. A hybrid injectable is designed to do both within a single treatment, rather than asking a patient to choose one mechanism over the other.
For patients used to hearing only about hyaluronic acid, this is a meaningful shift in ingredient. The goal, however, stays familiar: refine volume and support the skin’s own structure, without relying on a single mode of action to achieve it.
The filler combines volumization for immediate results with collagen bio-stimulation for skin quality improvement over time:
The outcome, as Dr Rami explains it, is immediate results paired with long-term improvement, rather than a choice between the two. This dual action is the entire premise behind calling it a hybrid. Instead of layering two separate treatments to achieve instant volume and gradual collagen support, this filler is designed to offer both from one injectable.
Dr Rami Haidar does not present this filler as an automatic upgrade over what already exists. As he puts it, “new doesn’t always mean it’s better.” That kind of caution matters in an industry where the newest launch is not automatically the right choice for every patient.
What brings this particular filler back into the conversation, in his view, is that it does not ask patients to give up a feature they already value in hyaluronic acid fillers: reversibility.
One of the most common questions patients ask about any new injectable is what happens if they change their mind, or if a correction is needed. Despite being a different base chemistry to a standard hyaluronic acid filler, this hybrid injectable is still reversible. An antidote is available for it, which is exactly what makes it a safe option in Dr Rami’s hands.
Reversibility is one of the main reasons hyaluronic acid fillers became the default choice for so many patients, replacing older, permanent, or hard-to-correct materials. A newer filler that keeps that same safety net, while adding a biostimulation component on top, is a meaningfully different proposition to a treatment that trades reversibility away for other benefits.
Dr Rami Haidar is a Maxillofacial Surgeon and a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, based at Excellence Medical Boutique in Jumeirah, Dubai. His approach to every injectable, including this new hybrid filler, is anatomy-led rather than trend-led. He was the first practitioner to bring this treatment to patients in the UAE, and he continues to assess each patient individually before recommending it.
The cost of this treatment at Excellence Medical Boutique depends on the areas treated and each patient’s individual needs. Pricing is confirmed only after a full consultation, so there are no surprises. Dr Rami’s focus is always on trust and transparency, never a rushed decision.
A regular dermal filler is generally built around one mechanism, most often immediate volumization. This hybrid injectable provides that same immediate volume while also triggering collagen bio-stimulation, so the skin continues to see quality improvements over time.
Yes; even though it is based on crosslinked carboxymethylcellulose rather than hyaluronic acid, the filler can still be reversed if needed. An antidote exists for it, which is one of the main reasons Dr Rami considers it a safe option for his patients.
Yes, that is one half of its dual action. Alongside immediate volumization, the filler is designed to encourage collagen bio-stimulation, supporting skin quality over time rather than delivering only an instant change.
Not exactly. Dr Rami was directly asked whether his clinic was the first to offer this treatment, and the honest answer was no. What he confirmed is that he was the first practitioner to inject it in the UAE.
Not necessarily. Dr Rami is clear with his own patients that new doesn’t always mean it’s better. He recommends this filler on its own merits, particularly because it keeps reversibility, rather than treating it as an automatic replacement for everything that came before it.
