Rheological Characterization

(1) Background: Injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers are used to restore volume, hydration and skin tone in aesthetic medicine. HA fillers differ from each other due to their cross-linking technologies, with the aim to increase mechanical and biological activities. One of the most recent and promising cross-linkers is polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (PEGDE), used by the company Matex Lab S.p.A., (Brindisi, Italy) to create the HA dermal filler PEGDE family. Over the last few years, several studies have been performed to investigate the biocompatibility and biodegradability of these formulations, but little information is available regarding their matrix structure, rheological and physicochemical properties related to their cross-linking technologies, the HA content or the degree of cross-linking. (2) Methods: Seven different injectable HA hydrogels were subjected to optical microscopic examination, cohesivity evaluation and rheological characterization in order to investigate their behavior. (3) Results: The analyzed cross-linked dermal fillers showed a fibrous “spiderweb-like” matrix structure, with each medical device presenting different and peculiar rheological features. Except for HA non cross-linked hydrogel 18 mg/mL, all showed an elastic and cohesive profile. (4) Conclusions: The comparative analysis with other literature works makes a preliminary characterization of these injectable medical devices possible.

Source Reliability

YouTube proves to be a source of health information for patients. This is the first study to analyze the source reliability and educational value of YouTube videos on facial filler treatments. On August 12, 2020, YouTube.com was queried using the keywords “facial filler” or “dermal filler” or “fillers.” A total of 100 were initially reviewed in which 74 videos met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. Video characteristics were recorded, and each video was graded for source reliability and educational value by using the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmark criteria and the Global Quality Score (GQS), respectively. Furthermore, each video was assessed to determine whether there was discussion of 5 different topics that were deemed to be useful to patients prior to undergoing a facial filler treatment. A total of 74 videos met the inclusion criteria and had an average length of 436 seconds (7 minutes and 16 seconds), 146 805 views, 1906 likes, 73 dislikes, and 241 comments. Forty-five videos (61%) were posted with an intention to educate patients, whereas 29 videos (39%) were posted with an intention to describe a patient’s experience with facial filler treatment. Patient education videos were found to have a significantly higher educational value ( PGQS < .001). Patient experience videos showed no difference in reliability score ( PJAMA > .05) to patient education videos, but patient experience videos were found to have lower educational value compared with patient education videos ( PGQS < .001). In addition, both categories are not providing sufficient information for informed decision-making prior to treatment deemed by the 5 selected categories we found most informative. As patients will continue to seek educational material online, clinicians should use this information to help primarily educate patients with standardized and accurate information about their treatment.

Filler Injections

The microcannula technique has become an increasingly popular method for injecting cosmetic fillers. Previous studies have illustrated that the microcannula technique allows filler to be injected with less pain, swelling, and essentially no bruising. This study is a retrospective clinical series examining 247 patients who have undergone dermal filler injections using the microcannula technique from 2011 to 2016 with a single injector, Kian Karimi. The purpose of this study is to assess the frequency of adverse events associated with injections such as bruising and swelling. All 666 recorded patient visits from 2011 to 2016 were analyzed using electronic medical records based on the criteria that the patients had cosmetic filler using the microcannula technique by the surgeon investigator. Of the 666 filler treatments using the microcannula technique, 3 treatments (0.5%) produced adverse events on the day of service, and 32 treatments (4.8%) produced adverse events at 2-week follow-up. In total, 5.4% of treatments produced adverse events. At the 2-week follow-up, 5.7% of treatments using the 25-gauge microcannula produced adverse events ( P = .830); 3.9% of treatments using the 27-gauge microcannula produced adverse events ( P = .612]). Only 3 patients were treated with the 30-gauge microcannula, and 1 patient reported adverse events on the day of service. None of the treatments using the 30-gauge microcannula produced adverse events at the 2-week follow-up ( P = .160). The data support that the microcannula technique is a safe and effective alternative to hypodermic needles for the injection of dermal filler to minimize common adverse events.
