BACKGROUND Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are becoming the material of choice for use in cosmetic soft tissue and dermal correction. [] Key MethodMETHODS AND MATERIALS Analytical methods were employed to generate data on the properties of various fillers. The measured physical properties were concentration, gel-to-fluid ratio, HA gel concentration, degree of HA modification, percentage of cross-linking, swelling, modulus, and particle size. RESULTS The results demonstrated that commercial fillers exhibit a…
Rheological evaluation of the physical properties of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers.
TLDR
This rheologic evaluation demonstrates that differences exist among the HA products tested including gel elasticity, viscosity, and the range and distribution of gel particle sizes.
Gel Properties of Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers
TLDR
No differentiation in filler properties could be seen as a result of manufacturing process used, except that the nonanimal stabilized HA stabilization process resulted in products with high gel strength and a low degree of modification.
Practical Guidelines for Hyaluronic Acid Soft-Tissue Filler Use in Facial Rejuvenation.
TLDR
The findings provide a basis for selection guideline regarding rheological properties in facial rejuvenation and help physicians select the appropriate fillers for more predictable and sustainable results.

TLDR
How rheology, the study of the flow of matter, can be used to help physicians differentiate between dermal fillers targeted to certain areas of the face is explained.
Rheologic and Physicochemical Properties Used to Differentiate Injectable Hyaluronic Acid Filler Products
TLDR
While rheologic and physicochemical characteristics can vary widely between products and the methods and measurements of these parameters are often difficult to correlate, G′ represents a useful and consistent parameter for product differentiation.
Hyaluronan Dermal Fillers: Efforts Towards a Wider Biophysical Characterization and the Correlation of the Biophysical Parameters to the Clinical Outcome
TLDR
Clinical outcomes showed the safety of the products and a perception of palpability well correlating with the cohesive/viscosity properties of the gels, and initial clinical observation indicated that gel biophysical properties allow for a reliable prediction of gel palpability, while in vitro data on gel stability cannot be related to the duration of the observed skin improvement.
Evaluation of the Rheologic and Physicochemical Properties of a Novel Hyaluronic Acid Filler Range with eXcellent Three-Dimensional Reticulation (XTR™) Technology
TLDR
Fillers manufactured with the novel eXcellent three-dimensional reticulation (XTR™) technology were shown to have characteristic rheological, crosslinking and biophysical factors that support the suitability of this filler range for certain patient profiles.
Effect of molecular weight of hyaluronic acid (HA) on viscoelasticity and particle texturing feel of HA dermal biphasic fillers
TLDR
The mechanical properties and the particle texturing feel of the fillers made from crosslinked HA microspheres suspended in noncrosslinked HA (1368 kDa) are successfully achieved, which are adequate for the filler.

TLDR
Knowing the chemical and physical blueprint ofHA dermal fillers may help physicians in choosing the appropriate HA dermal filler for facial enhancements, together with appropriate injector training and injection experience, should lead to results that ultimately will benefit patients.

TLDR
The smooth-gel HA dermal fillers offer longer-lasting correction than bovine collagen—which may lessen the frequency that repeat treatments are needed and should promote patient satisfaction.
Hyaluronic acid fillers
TLDR
The inherent properties of hyaluronic acid fillers that make them ideal for treatment of facial lines are discussed, as well as the potential pitfalls and adverse effects that can be associated with using these fillers for filling facial lines.

Consensus Recommendations for Soft-Tissue Augmentation with Nonanimal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid (Restylane)
TLDR
The aesthetic affects of aging on the face, the role of fillers in facial soft-tissue volume replacement, and general principles for the use of Restylane are reviewed, including patient comfort and assessment techniques.
A Randomized, Double‐Blind, Multicenter Comparison of the Efficacy and Tolerability of Restylane Versus Zyplast for the Correction of Nasolabial Folds
TLDR
Patients and investigators judged hyaluronic acid gel to be more effective in maintaining cosmetic correction and nonanimal stabilized hyaluonic acid provides a more durable aesthetic improvement than bovine collagen and is well tolerated.
Randomized, double-blind comparison of the efficacy of two hyaluronic acid derivatives, restylane perlane and hylaform, in the treatment of nasolabial folds.
TLDR
Restylane Perlane provides a more durable esthetic improvement than Hylaform and offers acceptable tolerability.
Assessment of elastic parameters of human skin using dynamic elastography
TLDR
A new high-resolution device capable of measuring local Young's modulus in very thin layers (1-5 mm) and devoted to the in vivo evaluation of the elastic properties of human skin is described and found to be higher in the dermis than in the hypodermis and other soft tissues.
