Episode Transcript
On this second day of March 2025, we’re diving into some fascinating findings from a recent multicenter study on lip volumization using hyaluronic acid. This research, led by Dr. Claudia Gonzalez and her team, took place across aesthetic centers in Colombia, Spain, and Mexico, focusing on the popular yet intricate procedure of lip enhancements.
The study involved 27 patients and compared two distinct injection techniques: cannula and needle. Ultrasound evaluations, both before and after the procedures, highlighted how these techniques affect hyaluronic acid deposits. For instance, the use of a cannula often resulted in elongated HA deposits, while needle technique was associated with rounder deposits.
Interestingly, out of the patients involved, a notable 74% reported complete satisfaction with their enhanced lip volume and contour. Moreover, using ultrasound technology proved pivotal in mapping each individual’s unique lip anatomy, ensuring safer and more precise outcomes.
As we continue to explore the intersection of technology and aesthetics, the insights from this study emphasize the importance of technique and targeted anatomical assessment. Future research with larger samples and longer follow-ups may further refine these methods, enhancing both safety and satisfaction in aesthetic medicine.
That’s all for today’s update. Stay stunning!
