Superficial application technique with cohesive polydensified matrix hyaluronic acid for the treatment of lines and wrinkles

Abstract

During aging, the skin undergoes structural, cellular, and molecular changes that alter its mechanical properties as well as its biological and physiological functions. These changes manifest as loss of elasticity, and turgor, with consequent appearance of fine wrinkles, lines, and creases that are difficult to resolve, being considered a therapeutic challenge. Objective: To describe the technique of applying cohesive polydensified matrix hyaluronic acid for the treatment of superficial wrinkles. Materials and methods: In this retrospective and observational study, the technique of superficial and transverse application to superficial wrinkles with cohesive polydensified matrix hyaluronic acid was performed in women with this type of wrinkles in the perioral, periorbicular and lateral regions of the face, which did not disappear after treatment with botulinum toxin, facial volumization with fillers and technology. The study was conducted over 22 months between 2016 and 2018. The degree of improvement was assessed by a questionnaire applied to the patients who observed paired standardized photographs taken in the previous period and one month after the treatment. Results: The technique was performed on 40 women aged 55 to 80 years, whose response to the evaluation questionnaire was improved between 90% and 100% after one month of treatment. Conclusions: The technique of superficial and transverse application to wrinkles with cohesive polydensified matrix hyaluronic acid proved to be an excellent option for the treatment of affected areas, without significant adverse events and/or Tyndall effect, with a high degree of patient satisfaction
