Abstract:
Facial wrinkles are the most visible morphological change of the aging process. Therefore, several rejuvenation methods have been developed to cure these unloved signs of the times, such as botulinum toxin, laser treatments as well as topical active ingredients. Recently, dermal fillers have become a popular means of addressing contour defects and soft-tissue augmentation. Although this aesthetic treatment is considered to be relatively safe, the use of injectable dermal fillers is a minimally-invasive treatment, and as with any medical procedure, there is a risk for unwanted side effects.
