Distinguishing itself through V-phasic hyaluronic acid, HyaFilia excels in replenishing volume loss by stimulating fibroblasts to generate their own collagen.

HIFU directs energy to layers deep underneath the skin to encourage contraction and lifting, lessen scars, stretch marks and cellulite and improve skin elasticity. It is sometimes described as the ultrasound face lift.

HA dermal fillers are viscoelastic materials, which means that they display both a viscous (irreversible deformation) and elastic (reversible deformation) response when a force is applied. Rheological parameters provide a measure of how the ability of a dermal filler to resist deformation, which is relevant to key parameters such as injectability, lifting capacity (profile of the filler after injection) and residence time.

Beyond dynamic rheological measurements, the lack of standardized measurements is a challenge when attempting to compare physico‐chemical properties from different fillers. Differences in crosslinking technologies, HA concentration, particle size and degree of crosslinking across brands make the establishment of universal correlations challenging.

A favorite brand of Jennifer Garner and dermatologists alike, this affordable eye cream has not one but two helpful ingredients that tackle wrinkles and fine lines under eyes: retinol and hyaluronic acid. Retinol works to diminish signs of aging while hyaluronic acid helps plump and hydrate skin.

User review: “This product really helped with my acne, dark spots, and my annoying ‘strawberry legs,’” one Ulta reviewer wrote. “My skin has definitely improved, my face is almost clear, and my strawberry legs are starting to fade.

Laser is a very high energy beam of laser light. Different lasers can be here set to different wavelengths of light, so their strength and depth of penetration can be varied.

Developed by the makers of EmFace (a face-firming treatment that went viral last year), “Exion combines radiofrequency with mechanical ultrasound for the very first time,” says aesthetic doctor Dr Sherina Balaratnam.

To ensure that regulated healthcare professionals undertaking these high-risk procedures meet the required standards of safety and quality, we propose that restricted high-risk procedures should be classed as regulated activities by CQC.

gel cohesion is the sum of internal forces that unite the solid and liquid phases; if a gel is cohesive, then the gel remains monophasic when placed in an aqueous solution. Fagien et al.

In order to achieve the required stiffness and persistence, a number of modifications and processing steps must be carried out. Specifically, crosslinkers are used to connect HA polymer chains together to create a network (Figure 2), and transforming the viscous liquid into a gel.

The less cohesive nature of these gels is more likely to produce smoother contours once injected. However, this could also pose a problem of gel migration from the injection sitio.
