Episode Transcript
Today, December 22, 2024, let’s delve into an intriguing development in aesthetic medicine. A study led by Desiree Giselle Castelanich, alongside Luis A. Parra Hernandéz and their team, has introduced a promising approach to managing complications from hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. Sometimes, these fillers cause late-onset edema in the delicate periocular region, which is generally treated with hyaluronidase. However, this common remedy occasionally leads to an unwanted side effect known as post-hyaluronidase syndrome.
This study featured six patients treated between 2019 and 2024 using a novel method that combines hyaluronidase with collagenase. The results were impressive: each patient saw significant improvement in their edema after just a single session. Notably, the study found no instances of post-hyaluronidase syndrome, marking this combined treatment as a safer and effective alternative.
By tapping into the expertise from Buenos Aires to Barranquilla, this technique offers an innovative solution to a challenging side effect, providing both aesthetic enhancement and peace of mind. Stay tuned as we continue to explore the latest in aesthetic advancements.
