Calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) is a well-established collagen stimulator. In recent years, it has been increasingly used in hyperdiluted form as biostimulatory agent rather than volumizing filler to improve skin quality and firmness both facial corporal areas. However, guidelines on the techniques required achieve optimal results are still lacking. The objective of this study was develop consensus recommendation for safe effective use CaHA face body biostimulation.A team 10 experts with...
Filler injection for cosmetic treatment of the aging face may be complicated by visual impairment, skin necrosis, or anaphylaxis because accidental intravascular injection. Blood aspiration test (withdrawal blood syringe plunger before injection) decrease risk injection.To evaluate reliability test.A red ink solution was withdrawn from a cup using containing 0.1 mL filler (17 different products); when there no aspiration, retesting performed with larger-gauge needles until observed. In white...
Abstract Background The arrangement of the facial soft tissue layers is different with respect to line ligaments: medially oblique and laterally in parallel. Aims This split‐face study was designed investigate effects on midfacial volumization if same medial vs lateral injection points are targeted various sequences. Methods Twelve patients (3 males, 9 females; 46.67 years ± 4.5) were included this interventional study. On right side face, performed first, whereas left side, executed first....
Background: Age-associated skin laxity contributes to worsening of cellulite appearance. This study evaluated the effects microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V; Ultherapy) in combination diluted calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA; Radiesse) on appearance and neocollagenesis. Methods: Twenty women (18–55 years old) moderate-to-severe buttocks thighs were retrospectively enrolled. MFU-V was applied using 4 7 MHz transducers (25 lines/transducer/site) immediately followed by subdermal...
Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA; Radiesse, Merz North America) restores volume and stimulates collagen production. The aim of this research was to explore the role dilution diffusion in microsphere distribution effect CaHA concentration on activation fibroblasts produce collagen.Ex vivo: Tissue dispersion assessed abdominal tissue segments obtained from patients which were subsequently injected with diluted 1:1 hyperdiluted 1:2. In vitro: Collagen type III (COLIII) I (COLI) expression...
Abstract Background Inadvertent intra‐arterial injection of dermal fillers including calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) can result in serious adverse events soft tissue necrosis, permanent scarring, visual impairment, and blindness. When occurs, immediate action is required for optimal outcomes, but the infrequency this event means that many physicians may never have experienced scenario. The aim document to provide evidence‐based expert opinion recommendations recognition management vascular...
Abstract Background Recent advances in facial anatomy have increased our understanding of aging and where to best position soft tissue fillers. Aim this study was investigate a novel injection protocol which makes use concepts like the line ligaments or surface ‐ volume coefficient. Materials Methods A total 306 Caucasian patients (270 females, mean age 45.1 ± 11.4 years; 36 males, 45.9 11.6 years) were retrospectively investigated after following standardized protocol. This comprised six...
Abstract Background Most injection techniques utilizing hyaluronic acid–based soft tissue fillers have predictable outcomes at the location injected. However, temporal region has been identified to aesthetic effects beyond temple. Aims To identify and quantify panfacial of three different techniques. Patients/Methods The medical records nine female five male Caucasian patients with a mean age 50.9 ± 11.9 years were retrospectively reviewed for these techniques: supraperiosteal, interfascial,...

Skin laxity and wrinkling on the neck décolletage reveal age as reliably face.To evaluate combined use of microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V; Ultherapy® ) diluted calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA; Radiesse® for treating décolletage.Subjects moderate-to-severe lines and/or were retrospectively enrolled. MFU-V was applied using 7 10 MHz transducers followed by subdermal injection CaHA 1:1 lidocaine solution. Photographs at baseline 90 days assessed two independent, blinded...
As the treatment indications for Cohesive Polydensified Matrix® hyaluronic acid (CPM-HA) portfolio continue to expand and diversify, injectors new range or those who are expanding treatments they offer may be unsure of optimal product injection technique specific facial areas. Each in CPM-HA has been intentionally designed provide best physical properties a indication target tissue. This document developed comprehensive, one-stop reference clinicians using portfolio.An international panel...
Abstract Background Midfacial aging involves skeletal changes, muscle weakening, and fat redistribution, resulting in volume loss, skin sagging, deepened nasolabial folds. High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation (HIFES) combined with Radiofrequency (RF) is a novel non-invasive method to address these changes by enhancing mass remodeling subcutaneous tissue. Objectives To assess the efficacy of HIFES Synchronized RF improving midfacial aesthetics, specifically thickness, displacement,...
ABSTRACT Objective NCTF135HA, a versatile polyrevitalizing solution, is potent agent for enhancing skin quality, radiance, moisture, vitality, and diminishing fine wrinkles caused by aging factors. Data demonstrate divergence in its application from quality enhancement to treatment of vitiligo lesions. To know more precisely about the protocol use among providers, alone or combination with other procedures, we performed an international survey. Method A Steering Committee dermatologists,...
Effects of upper facial aging can present as static forehead and periorbital rhytids well soft tissue volume loss. The latter prompt in conjunct with bony changes the calvaria eyebrow eyelid ptosis. Injection-based treatments yield positive outcomes but are not free procedural risks. To assess clinical outcome synchronized radiofrequency (RF) high intensity electric stimulation (HIFES) when targeting face special focus on effects musculature, subcutaneous fatty layer, position. This...
Stretch marks can have a negative psychological impact on some individuals. Methods are available for treating stretch marks, but high-quality evidence supporting their use is limited. We treat using injections of diluted calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA, Radiesse) filler combined with microneedling and topical ascorbic acid. This retrospective study evaluated the effectiveness this therapy.Subjects presented red (n = 25) or white 10) striae buttocks, thighs, knees, abdomen, breasts. CaHA was...
