Abstract

The aging process of the face is characterized by transformations in the skin, bone, and adipose tissue. As the understanding of these changes has expanded, so too has the range of available filler products in the market. To maximize the effectiveness of hyaluronic acid, it is crucial to have a comprehensive understanding of its rheological properties. The numerous commercially available brands of hyaluronic acid differ in several aspects, such as the purity of their raw materials, methods of manufacturing, concentration of hyaluronic acid, presence and level of cross-linking, and ability to provide volume and withstand degradation. Aiming at the most assertive use of this product, features as viscosity (η), complex modulus (G*), elastic modulus (G"), tan d, cross-linking, concentration and swelling factor must be addressed, correlating them with their expected clinical effects.
