Full-face rejuvenation using a range of hyaluronic acid fillers: efficacy, safety, and patient satisfaction over 6 months.

Background: Full-face rejuvenation with dermal fillers in patients with multiple aesthetic indications is rarely studied.
Objective: To assess whether a new range of hyaluronic acid filler is suitable for full-face rejuvenation and to evaluate efficacy, safety, and patient satisfaction.
Materials and Methods: In this 6-month study, participants could receive five different fillers from the same range (HA(E) )for up to eight indications (periorbital lines, tear troughs, cheeks, cheek folds, nasolabial folds, upper lip lines, lips, and marionette lines). Outcomes included global aesthetic improvement, improvement in each indication, adverse events, local tolerability, and satisfaction.
Results: Seventy-seven participants with a mean age of 54.5 were enrolled; 48.1% had five or more indications treated. Mean total injection volume (baseline and touch-up) per participant was 6.7 mL. At month 6, 92.1% of participants remained at least improved over baseline, 79.7% of participants were satisfied or very satisfied with the durability of the results, and 63.0% of participants felt a lot or much better than before injection. No specific safety concerns were reported except expected injection site reactions.
Conclusion: In participants with multiple indications, full-face rejuvenation using HA(E) provided effective, safe, satisfactory results.
