Background: Poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) injectables have gained increasing attention in aesthetic medicine due to their biocompatibility and long-lasting effects. Although their primary application centers around facial rejuvenation, their potential for off-label use in other body areas has been investigated, demonstrating promising outcomes in terms of both efficacy and safety.
Aim: This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of a novel 630 mg PLLA-based filler (GANA X), in buttocks treatment.

Background: Excess skin laxity over the upper face can contribute to aging over the mid and lower face. We describe an innovative nonsurgical technique of facial rejuvenation by injecting Lanluma V over the scalp's vertex and parietal regions. Lanluma V is a poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA)-based collagen stimulator which contains 210 mg of PLLA, distributed by Sinclair Pharmaceutical.

Hyaluronic acid (HA)-based injectables continue to grow in popularity and are used worldwide to improve facial changes associated with aging. Profhilo® Structura (IBSA Farmaceutici Italia, Lodi, Italy) is a novel HA-based product that uses nano hybrid complex of hyaluronic acid (NAHYCO)® technology to create hybrid cooperative complexes consisting of high and low molecular weight HA. Profhilo® Structura's high concentration (45 mg of total HA) and rheological properties (ie, viscosity [resistance to flow] and elasticity [stickiness]) have been specially formulated to restore facial adipose tissue.

Skin quality improvement and the volumizing effects of the DEF CL volumizer filler, a sterile, biodegradable, viscoelastic, transparent, isotonic, and homogenized injectable cross-linked high G' filler for the treatment of moderate-to-severe age-related midface changes, were initially documented at 6 months after the first injection.
Objective: The authors aimed to objectively evaluate the effects of the DEF CL volumizer filler in improving skin density, thickness, and biomechanical properties and on tissue volume augmentation in women with midface volume loss after 12 months.
Susac syndrome is a rare immune-mediated endotheliopathy affecting the microvasculature. It presents three main symptoms: encephalopathy, branch retinal artery occlusions, and hearing loss . Here we present a new case report focusing on the evolution of the cognitive profile.
