[BACKGROUND] Lateral orbital hollowing is a subtle yet influential contributor of periorbital ageing. It results from attenuation of subcutaneous fat, atrophy of the lateral orbital fat pad, and descent of the orbicularis oculi muscle, crea…

[BACKGROUND] The degree of modification (MoD) of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers reflects the extent of chemical cross-linking of native HA chains. Lower MoD values correspond to reduced cross-linker content and potentially more physiological …

[BACKGROUND] Nasolabial folds (NLFs) are a hallmark of facial ageing, and precise correction requires detailed anatomical and vascular mapping. High-resolution ultrasound offers real-time visualisation of soft-tissue layers, filler distribu…

[BACKGROUND] The platysma muscle plays a pivotal role in the formation of vertical neck bands and contributes to lower facial descent, making it a prime target for botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) in aesthetic neck rejuvenation. Conventional…

Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary contractions of the facial muscles, which can significantly influence patients' quality of life. Traditional diagnostic methods are often subjective, and electro…

[BACKGROUND] Aging leads to noticeable changes in lip volume, definition, and projection largely due to alterations in the orbicularis oris muscle. Although superficial signs of aging are well-documented, deeper muscular changes remain unde…

Current treatment of horizontal forehead lines typically involves botulinum toxin injections targeting the frontalis muscle, though this approach may occasionally result in complications such as eyebrow ptosis. This letter introduces the fa…

[BACKGROUND] Supraorbital hollowing from age-related volume loss or post-blepharoplasty overresection causes upper sulcus deflation. Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are frequently used in the upper eyelid, but prospective clinical follow-up da…

[BACKGROUND] Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are commonly used in esthetic medicine for facial contouring and rejuvenation. However, complications such as overcorrection, vascular occlusion, and irregular filler distribution necessitate the us…

[BACKGROUND] High-intensity-focused ultrasound (HIFU) has emerged as a noninvasive approach for facial rejuvenation, offering benefits such as collagen synthesis and subcutaneous fat reduction. However, the differential effects of varying H…

This narrative review explores the various injection techniques utilized in facial filler procedures, emphasizing their applications, benefits, and potential complications. The increasing demand for total facial contouring and rejuvenation …

Minimising facial adiposity is a growing esthetic concern for individuals seeking a slimmer facial appearance. While various surgical and nonsurgical approaches have been used, innovative methods for noninvasive facial contouring continue t…

[BACKGROUND] Poly-D,L-lactic acid (PDLLA) is used for tear trough rejuvenation but can cause complications like nodular reactions. This report describes using a radiofrequency device to manage these nodules. [CASE PRESENTATION] A 42-year-o…

[INTRODUCTION] The combination of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers and polydioxanone (PDO) thread lifting is gaining popularity for mid-face rejuvenation, especially among the Asian population. Despite the common use of these techniques, there …

Lip augmentation has become increasingly popular in aesthetic medicine, driven by advancements in dermal filler technologies and injection techniques. This review provides a comprehensive overview of lip anatomy, age-related changes, and cu…

Height augmentation and cephalic contouring using hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers represent an innovative approach in minimally invasive aesthetic medicine. This study introduces a novel technique for vertex augmentation, leveraging cross-link…

The heel fat pad plays a crucial role in shock absorption during walking, yet clinical strategies to augment its thickness for height enhancement remain underexplored. This case report presents the novel use of cross-linked hyaluronic acid …

[BACKGROUND] Post-procedural ecchymosis can last up to two weeks and diminish patient satisfaction. Laser-assisted clearance is documented with pulsed-dye devices, but data on 1064-nm picosecond/nanosecond platforms remain sparse. [OBJECTI…

Aging is associated with volume loss in the temporal fat pad and lateral cheek fat, leading to sunken temples and increased facial sagging. This study explores the efficacy of a polycaprolactone (PCL)-based filler (Lafullen, Samyang, Seoul,…

Level of Evidence V This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article. For a full description of these Evidence-Based Medicine ratings, please refer to the Table of Contents or the online Instructions to Authors …

The demand for non-surgical upper body enhancement continues to grow, particularly among men seeking improved muscular definition without the risks of surgery or functional compromise. This case report presents a novel protocol using high G…

[AIMS] Compensatory masseteric bulging, a newly identified complication, arises from repeated botulinum neurotoxin injections targeting the lower mid-masseter in East Asians. This phenomenon occurs when untreated upper muscle layers hypertr…

Glabellar filler injections are a popular non-surgical approach to address depressions and wrinkles caused by aging, muscle activity, and soft tissue loss. An anatomy-based technique emphasizes understanding the complex structure of the gla…

[BACKGROUND] Platysmal bands contribute to neck ageing and lower-face descent. Although botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) is approved for this indication, conventional whole-muscle dosing requires many superficial injections with attendant risks. …

[BACKGROUND] Intradermal microdroplet injections of botulinum toxin type-A (BoNT/A) effectively ameliorate rosacea-related angiogenesis, but the mechanism remains unclear. [OBJECTIVE] To explore the anti-angiogenesis of BoNT/A in the rosac…

This study focuses on anatomically based diagnosis and filler injection techniques for managing perioral wrinkles, which present unique challenges due to complex vascular anatomy and diverse wrinkle types. Key perioral wrinkles include vert…

Nasolabial folds significantly impact facial appearance and are a common aesthetic concern. This article reviews anatomic considerations and filler injection techniques for treating these folds, with a focus on the Korean population. The de…
