Exploring the Safety and Satisfaction of Patients Injected With Collagen Biostimulators-A Prospective Investigation Into Injectable Poly-l-Lactic Acid (PLLA).

Background: Esthetic medicine has shifted significantly toward non-surgical procedures, with the collagen biostimulator poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) becoming increasingly popular for facial rejuvenation. However, the safety and patient satisfaction associated with PLLA facial treatments remain largely unexplored.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the safety profile of PLLA treatment and assess patient mid- and long-term satisfaction with the outcome.

Clinical Evidence Regarding Spermidine-Hyaluronate Gel as a Novel Therapeutic Strategy in Vestibulodynia Management.

Vestibulodynia (VBD) represents a summation and overlapping of trigger factors (infections, hormonal disturbances, allergies, genetic aspects, psychological vulnerability, and others) with broad individual variability. As there are no standard treatment options for VBD, the disease is still in need of appropriate therapeutic tools. : A prospective observational trial was performed to confirm the efficacy of a topical gel containing a spermidine-hyaluronate complex (UBIGEL donna™) as either a stand-alone or companion treatment through a multicenter study on a large sample population.

Women in Dermatology: Considerations over Their Recognition and Prominence.

According to the Federal Council of Medicine's demographic data from 2020, the medical specialty with the highest number of women is dermatology; with 77.9% within the total of 9,078 specialists. The male/female ratio is 0.

Nasal filling guided by high frequency ultrasound: Reducing risks.

Background: Given the significant increase in the quantity of cosmetic procedures utilizing hyaluronic acid fillers, including in the nasal region, the initial evaluation of patients using high frequency ultrasound becomes a crucial instrument in evaluating and handling nonsurgical rhinoplasty.

Aims: The aim of this article is to introduce an assessment methodology for nasal filling guided by high frequency ultrasound.

Patients/methods: A prospective and single-center study was conducted with 12 Latin American patients.

Hyaluronic Acid-based Fillers for Facial Rehabilitation in Inherited Neuropath.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is the most prevalent inherited neuromuscular disorder. It commonly leads to various musculoskeletal deformities, profoundly impacting the quality of life. The present case report explores the often under-recognized body image dissatisfaction in CMT, highlighting the potential benefits of a multidisciplinary approach to enhance aesthetic satisfaction.

Resolve and dissolve-An ultrasound-guided investigation on the effects of hyaluronidase on different soft tissue fillers.

Background: Nonsurgical cosmetic procedures, particularly the use of hyaluronic acid (HA)-based soft tissue fillers, are becoming increasingly popular. This trend has catalyzed the development of a plethora of HA-based products differing in product characteristics, thereby catering to an ever-widening spectrum of aesthetic applications. However, complications rise concomitant with the increasing number of procedures.

Dermal Thickness Increase and Aesthetic Improvement with Hybrid Product Combining Hyaluronic Acid and Calcium Hydroxyapatite: A Clinical and Sonographic Analysis.

Unlabelled: Hyaluronic acid filler injections are regarded as the gold standard procedure for facial rejuvenation. Standing as the second most injected cosmetic filler, calcium hydroxyapatite-based fillers are also widely used worldwide. However, to our knowledge, prospective studies assessing patient satisfaction and sonographic changes in dermal thickness after a single session of a hybrid filler combining hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite have not been previously published.

Precision of Soft-Tissue Filler Injections: An Ultrasound-Based Verification Study.

Background: Uncontrolled product spread is an important issue to consider in facial filler injections. Lack of precision can result in reduced effectiveness and surface projection, as well as irregularities and product visibility.

Objectives: The authors sought to assess the precision of soft-tissue filler injections in the face by employing a cannula.

Applied anatomy of the layers and soft tissues of the forehead during minimally-invasive aesthetic procedures.

Background: An increasing demand of minimally-invasive aesthetic procedures of the forehead concomitantly leads to higher numbers of adverse events. Adequate application of anatomical knowledge is required to increase safety and efficacy of different minimally-invasive aesthetic procedures in this anatomical region.

Objective: To describe the layered anatomy of the forehead soft tissues with respect to their thicknesses and how they relate to different minimally-invasive aesthetic treatments.
