Good day, it’s May 22, 2024, and welcome to Aesthetic Medicine Minute. I’m Dr. Teri Fisher, here to share the latest insights from the world of aesthetic medicine.
Today’s focus is a recent case report published on April 20, 2024, by Paweł Kubik and W. Gruszczyński from Poland. The report delves into the safety and efficacy of PEGylated hyaluronic acid fillers in combating facial skin aging.
This particular case involved a female patient presenting with facial skin laxity and photodamage. The treatment protocol utilized PEG-cross-linked hyaluronic acid soft tissue fillers. The results were quite promising. Histological examinations conducted at different intervals—0, 7, 14, and 21 days post-procedure—showed a notable increase in fibroblasts and angiogenesis. Additionally, the treatment exhibited immunomodulating properties.
The findings underscore the potential of PEG-cross-linked hyaluronic acid in promoting various beneficial cutaneous changes. This treatment method could be a viable option for patients seeking effective strategies to counteract facial aging.
