Lower periorbital area treatment with Restylane Vital Skinbooster
Journal Title: Journal of Surgical Dermatology - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Facial aging along the periocular area has led to the development of new non-surgical therapies. The lower periorbital area (LPOA) is a vital region for facial rejuvenation and several procedures have been studied to treat it, especially procedures with dermal fillers for volume rebuilding. This manuscript aims to describe a filling technique with hyaluronic acid (HA) along the superficial layer of the lower periorbital area, presenting its effectiveness and safety. Our assessment was made by autonomous observers with pictures of before and after treatment, rated from 0 (no enhancement) to 100 (maximum enhancement). Patients‘ self-assessment was also performed using a visual analog scale (VAS) based on a 100-mm ruler affording a 0–100 rating. Thirty patients were enrolled in this study. The autonomous observers‘ evaluation presented a 78.4 mean improvement rate. Patients‘ self-assessments after the treatment were 0% reporting no improvement, 6.7% mild improvement, 23.3% moderate improvement, 66.7% great improvement, and 3.3% maximum improvement. Restylane Vital Skinbooster infiltration at the lower periorbital area proved to be a safe treatment. The described technique is also simple to execute, has a low rate of complications, and produces a high satisfaction rate.
