Summary
Nonsurgical facial rejuvenation has grown due to injectables like fillers and biostimulators. Their effectiveness in soft tissue augmentation varies by product type, injection site, and composition, with semipermanent options offering balanced results.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Aesthetic Medicine
- Cosmetic Surgery
Background:
- Nonsurgical facial rejuvenation has seen significant growth since 2001.
- This trend is driven by advancements in injectable treatments for soft tissue augmentation.
- Key products include fillers, volumizers, and biostimulators.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the factors influencing the efficacy and duration of injectable facial rejuvenation products.
- To discuss the role of semipermanent devices as a middle-ground option.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of nonsurgical facial rejuvenation techniques.
- Analysis of injectable product types: fillers, volumizers, and biostimulators.
- Evaluation of factors affecting treatment outcomes: mode of operation, injection site, composition.
Main Results:
- Injectable fillers, volumizers, and biostimulators are primary drivers of nonsurgical facial rejuvenation.
- Product efficacy and longevity are contingent upon specific characteristics and application.
- Semipermanent devices provide an intermediate duration of effect.
Conclusions:
- The choice of injectable product and technique is crucial for successful facial rejuvenation.
