Article Synopsis
- Complications like delayed inflammatory reactions (DIRs) and unnatural results can occur with hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers, making prevention strategies essential.
- A survey of 200 practitioners in Asia Pacific identified key measures for reducing complications, focusing on appropriate filler choice, aseptic techniques, and suitable patient selection.
- A panel of experts developed a reference guide with five practical tips to enhance safety in HA filler treatments, emphasizing customized plans, knowledge of facial anatomy, and adherence to proper injection techniques.
Background: Several usage guidelines for calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), a dermal filler material, exist for non-Asian patients, making it necessary to determine whether their findings and consensuses are applicable to Asian patients who have distinct anatomies, cultural preferences, and aesthetic requests.
Objective: We sought to develop a Pan-Asian consensus on CaHA use in skin biostimulation, contouring, and combination treatments for face and body indications.
Methods: A survey on CaHA usage for contouring and biostimulation indications in Asian patients was conducted, followed by discussions to establish consensus statements and topics for examination.
