Cosmetic dermal filling represents a significant advance in aesthetic medicine, providing non-invasive treatments with immediate and durable outcomes. Despite the generally safe nature of dermal fillers and avoidable complications with proper technique and planning, they are still risky, with potential complications varying from mild and transient to severe and enduring. This study introduces innovative strategies designed to decrease the risk of serious complications, such as vascular occlusion.

Background: Vascular embolism is a severe complication following hyaluronic acid (HA) filler injections, with hyaluronidase injection being the most effective treatment. The nasal region, including the nose and nasolabial fold, is the most common site of vascular embolism after facial HA injections. Currently, there is insufficient clinical evidence regarding the benefits of facial artery thrombolysis.

Accidental arterial embolization of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers can lead to severe complications, including skin ischemia, blindness, and stroke. Currently, the intra-arterial dispersal and fragmentation behavior of HA gels is unknown but critical to our understanding of the pathomechanism of these injuries. This work introduces the Pulsatile Unit for the Laboratory Simulation of Arterio-embolic Restrictions (PULSAR) and evaluates the intravascular behavior of different HA gels.
