An 18-Month Follow-up, Randomized Comparison of Effectiveness and Safety of Two Hyaluronic Acid Fillers for Treatment of Moderate Nasolabial Folds
2016
Hyaluronic acid (HA) filler injection is a popular nonsurgical aesthetic procedure.To compare the effectiveness and safety of 2 hyaluronic acid fillers (HAEC and HARES) for treatment of moderate nasolabial folds (NLFs).This was an evaluator- and subject-blinded split-face study. HAEC or HARES was randomly assigned to the left or right NLF at baseline. Retreatment was performed after 9 months; follow-up extended to 18 months after baseline (9 months after retreatment). Effectiveness assessments included the Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS) and subject preference. Safety assessments included adverse events (AEs) and local tolerability symptoms recorded by subjects during 3 weeks after tre…
Hyaluronic acid-based two-stage medical therapy to unfold the aged face: The centrifugal approach
2020
Background: Facial aging is a multifactorial process characterized by structural changes to the dermis and ligaments, lipoatrophy in the fat pads and hypodermis, remodeling of the bony skeleton, change in muscle tonicity and tissue descent. Aims: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a hyaluronic acid-based treatment for the aging face that addresses all its causes in a caudal to cranial and medial to lateral direction: the centrifugal technique. Methods: Between March 2015 and January 2018, 187 patients were treated with a high G’ hyaluronic acid in two sessions, one/two weeks apart, to improve signs of facial aging, starting from the lower centrofacial area and progress…
Cheek Volumization and the Nasolabial Fold.
2018
Sir: We have read the article by Mowlds and Lambros1 with great interest and enthusiasm. The findings of their study show that the nasolabial fold does not improve after cheek injection. By analyzing three-dimensional images of the face before and immediately after cheek injection of high- G′ hyaluronic acid, they demonstrate that the perceived nasolabial fold improvement, reported after cheek injections,2,3 is attributable to overall improvement in facial appearance rather than to actual nasolabial fold improvement. As a consequence, it might be ruled out that the nasolabial fold is a consequence of cheek deflating and it is likely attributable predominantly to change in the corner of the …
