Injectable gel fillers are indicated for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and fold, especially around the nose and mouth eg nasolabial folds.

These fillers got FDA approval in June 2006. According to manufacturer Allergan, fillers can eradicate smile lines (those parentheses around your nose and mouth), marionette lines (the vertical wrinkles at the corner of your mouth), and vertical lip lines.

In addition it was specifically developed to restore lost facial volume (e.g. in the cheeks, cheekbones, and chin). Because of its special particle size, it is optimally suited for overall facial volume-restoration.

It's made of naturally occurring substance found in the human body. The role of the substance in the skin is to deliver nutrients, hydrate the skin by holding in water, and to act as a cushioning agent. It can be thought of as the body’s internal moisturizer. But, as we age, it diminishes, which contributes to the presence of lines and folds.

Fillers Clinical Studies

In a US clinical study, 146 subjects were followed for 24 weeks after injection with injectable gel in one nasolabial fold (NLF) and dermal filler (bovine-based) in the other. Injectable gel was found to provide a more persistent wrinkle correction than other dermal filler over the 24-week course of the study.

The injectable gel at 24 weeks was 88% compared to 36% with other dermal filler. At the conclusion of the study, 129 (88%) of the 146 subjects expressed a preference for iinjectable gel, while only 8 (5%) expressed a preference for otherdermal filler, and 9 (6%) had no preference.

Subjects who completed the 24-week study were invited to return for a comprehensive repeat treatment. Subjects returned at their (or their physician’s) convenience, rather than at a prescribed time point. Of the 146 subjects, 116 (79%) returned for repeat treatment, on average at 9 months after their last injection. Forty-eight (48) subjects returned more than 36 weeks (9 months) after their last injection: the percentage of those subjects who had maintained improvement with injectable gel was 75%.
