evaluation of the efficacy and safety of three injectable hyaluronic acid-based fillers: art filler® fine lines, art filler® universal and art filler® lips

Conditions: Loss of Face Volume

Summary: the function of injectable fillers for the treatment of dermal contour deformities is to smooth dermal depressions formed by the loss of volume and the aging process. these fillers (also known as soft tissue augmentation medical devices) can correct the skin depressions/wrinkles, balance the disproportions or correct topographical anomalies. in this context, it is proposed to carry out in post-ce marking, an open, prospective and non-comparative study in order to document an adequate aesthetic correction of the most frequent areas treated with art filler fine lines, art filler universal and art filler lips as well as their immediate and long-term tolerance.
