Summary
Dermal fillers like hyaluronic acid (HA), poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA), and calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) effectively rejuvenate the neck, improving wrinkles and skin laxity with good safety.
Area of Science:
- Aesthetic Medicine
- Dermatology
- Cosmetic Surgery
Background:
- Facial rejuvenation is a primary aesthetic goal.
- Increasing focus on neck rejuvenation due to visible neck lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity.
- Addressing aging signs in the neck area is a growing patient and provider concern.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review English literature on fillers for neck rejuvenation.
- To examine hyaluronic acid (HA), poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA), and calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) for neck lines, laxity, and wrinkles.
- To synthesize current evidence on filler efficacy and safety for the neck.
Main Methods:
- PubMed database search for interventional and observational studies.
- Included studies focused on neck rejuvenation treatments.
- Excluded case reports with fewer than 10 patients.
Main Results:
- 24 studies with 887 patients were reviewed.
- HA gels, PLLA, and CaHA demonstrated efficacy in improving neck wrinkles and skin laxity.
- All three filler types showed favorable safety profiles for neck rejuvenation.
Conclusions:
- HA, CaHA, and PLLA are effective for neck rejuvenation.
- These fillers offer favorable safety profiles for treating neck aging.
- Further research is needed due to heterogeneity in outcome measures and limited long-term data.

01:23Tissue Renewal without Stem Cells
After cellular or tissue damage, the resident stem cells present in the human body can locally repair and regenerate the damaged tissue or organ. However, even though some tissues do not have stem cells, they can repair and regenerate with the help of pre-existing cells. For example, beta cells of the pancreas and hepatocytes of the liver can divide to renew and regenerate the tissue. Here, both cell division and cell death are well regulated by homeostasis.

01:15Reticular Dermis
The papillary and reticular dermis are the two layers of the dermis. They are made of connective tissue with fibers of collagen extending from one to the other, making the border between the two somewhat indistinct. The dermal papillae extending into the epidermis belong to the papillary layer, whereas the dense collagen fiber bundles below belong to the reticular layer.

Underlying the papillary layer is the much thicker reticular layer, composed of dense, irregular connective...

01:26Muscles of the Anterior Neck
The anterior neck muscles are the group of muscles covering the front part of the neck. These muscles are classified into three subgroups. The first one is the superficial muscles, the most visible muscles in the front of the neck. It includes the platysma and sternocleidomastoid. The second group is the suprahyoid muscles, located above the hyoid bone. This group comprises the digastric, mylohyoid, geniohyoid, and stylohyoid. Lastly, the infrahyoid muscles are found below the hyoid bone and...
01:19Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells
Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own EpiSCs...
