Abstract

BackgroundThe continuous struggle of the human being to keep the face fresher and more youthful, without reaching reconstructive surgery, makes it necessary to test non-invasive esthetic treatments. ObjectiveThe objective was evaluate the efficacy and safety of hyaluronic acid (HA) (Hyalrepair®, Hyaluform®) in eliminating the signs of facial aging. Patients and methodIn the period between July 23, 2018 and July 4, 2019, a longitudinal, analytical, observational study was carried out in 40 subjects at the «La Pradera» International Clinic, Havana, Cuba, by members of the international school of esthetic medicine and surgery (EIMEC). ResultsThe degree of global esthetic improvement was significantly modified (much better in 90% and quite better in 5%) (p < 0.0001). The depth of the nasolabial fold decreased significantly at the end of treatment (p < 0.0001). There was a directly proportional relationship between the increase in age, the degree of skin aging, the depth of the nasolabial fold, the loss of facial volume, and the need to use a higher density and volume of HA in the subjects. The degree of satisfaction referred to increased significantly (very satisfied in 98% and satisfied in 2%) (p < 0.0001). The adverse events found were: pain (40/40), edema (30/40) and ecchymosis (10/40); all were mild to moderate intensity. ConclusionsHyalrepair® and Hyaluform® are highly effective and safe in the elimination of facial aging signs, with a high degree of satisfaction of the subjects.
