Cosmoderm and Cosmoplast (not yet available in the UK) These two materials, also produced by McGhan Medical, are perfect examples of the innovation that exists in the area of filler materials. Comprising collagen that is derived from infant foreskin cells, Cosmoderm and Cosmoplast are considered to be the ideal form of human collagen. Ideal because it poses no risk of an allergic reaction and therefore eliminates the need for skin testing prior to treatment a great bonus for those people who are too impatient to wait four weeks for test results before being treated. Also, its source assures it has a purity that is comparable to nothing else.It’s difficult to state with any degree of accuracy just how long the results with this filler last. Cosmetic treatments that use human collagen have not been widely used and therefore few statistics are available. However, considering that the human collagen inCosmoderm and Cosmoplast shares the same composition as bovine collagen, it might be safe to say that the duration should be similar to that of Zyderm and Zyplast. And, like with bovine collagen injections, the syringe comes pre-mixed with lidocaine for minimal discomfort. The applications of Cosmoderm Iand II are similar to those of Zyder I and II, while Cosmoplast equals Zyplast and can be used in a similar fashion.At the time of writing this book, this material was not yet available anywhere; most likely it will be available in late 2002 or early in 2003.*65\82\8*

Secondary processes refer to all other processes which an individual does not experience as belonging to him, and which he speaks about as if they happened to him from the outside, or as caused by another agent. For example, ‘My leg is killing me,’ ‘The police are after me,’ The world is against me,’ or ‘This other person helps me,’ etc. are statements which express that the leg, the police, the world and a helper are the names of secondary processes. These processes are further from awareness; they are projected and experienced outside of the individual who expresses them. Both primary and secondary processes are only partially conscious.The individual identity is connected to the primary process. Consciousness is a term which I use only for those moments in which the individual is aware of primary and secondary processes. Consciousness refers to a reflective awareness, to the existence of a metacommunicator, someone who is able to talk about his experiences and perceptions.I use the term double signals to refer to expressions coming from a person which are part of his secondary processes, information with which he is not able to identify himself in a given moment. The reader interested in the background to these terms is referred to the first chapter of River’s Way.*24\227\8*
