,
March 2017 in “Aesthetic plastic surgery” Accidental injection of hyaluronic acid caused temporary hair loss and skin damage, but treatment restored hair and healed the skin.
April 2024 in “Journal of applied cosmetology” This study found that while hyaluronic acid fillers can enhance facial balance and aesthetics, particularly in the temple area, they carry significant risks like vascular occlusion and blindness, highlighting the need for careful technique and product selection to ensure safety.
June 2023 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study found that polycaprolactone (PCL) in facial fillers led to more cell proliferation and vascular activity than hyaluronic acid (HA) in Wistar rats, suggesting enhanced tissue regeneration effects with PCL.
