Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a remarkably multifaceted biomacromolecule, playing a role in regulating myriad biological processes such as wound healing, tissue regeneration, anti-inflammation, and immunomodulation. Crosslinked high- and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid hydrogels achieve higher molar concentrations, display slower degradation, and allow optimal tissue product diffusion, while harnessing the synergistic contribution of different-molecular-weight hyaluronans. A recent innovation in the world of hyaluronic acid synthesis is represented by NAHYCO Hybrid Technology, a thermal process leading to hybrid cooperative hyaluronic acid complexes (HCC).

Article Synopsis
  • Developed a 5-grade photographic scale to assess neck laxity using morphed images based on real photographs.
  • Images were evaluated by 6 physicians over 2 rounds to ensure reliability.
  • The scale showed high inter-rater (>.85) and intra-rater (0.69-0.87) agreement, confirming its validity and reliability for use.

Background: Soft-tissue fillers have become important products for facial rejuvenation. Deep fat compartments and facial bones lose volume during the natural aging process. For the most natural-looking results, deep volumetric injections at strategic sites are therefore preferred.

Standard ellipse excision of lesions followed by direct closure results in a linear scar. Linear scar contracture may disrupt adjacent anatomy, rendering negative functional and cosmetic outcomes. This is of particular relevance when operating in the vicinity of paired or symmetrical anatomic structures.
