Introduction:
Tissue engineering is a revolutionized biotechnology that utilizes biomaterials in regenerative medicine. Nowadays, there is a trend in employing autologous-based materials in aesthetic medicine. In this review, we discuss safety and efficacy of autologous-based fillers in the fields of aesthetic dermatology, and describe the details of preparation and injection methods based on current literature.
Evidence Acqusition:
PubMed, Scopus, Web of science, Embase and Google scholar were searched for studies which evaluated efficacy of autologous-based filler in the field of aesthetic dermatology from January 2000 until August 2022. Nineteen articles including five randomized clinical trials, ten prospective and four retrospective studies were selected for this review.
Evidence Synthesis:
Most of the studies evaluated use of biofillers in rejuvenation (twelve articles) and the remaining were in atrophic scars (six articles) and striae distensae (one article). Adjuvant treatments included liquid platelet rich growth factor (PRGF), autologous cultured fibroblast, adipose tissue micrograft, microneedling, fractional carbon dioxide laser and subcision. Application of biofillers is a safe alternative therapeutic option for soft tissue augmentation.
Conclusions:
Application of biofillers is especially recommended in patients who seek low-cost rejuvenation methods and those with a past history of granulomatous reactions to the other fillers. It provides the advantage of immediate filling effects with long-lasting efficacy.
