The search for the ideal augmentation material of facial soft tissues has been an ongoing effort for many years. Injectable soft tissue substitutes provide an affordable, non-surgical alternative for correcting contour defects in facial skin. A safe and effective material for this purpose should respect certain characteristics that it should be biocompatible, non-antigenic, nonpyrogenic, noninflammatory, nontoxic, easy to use, stable after injection, non-migratory, long-lasting but reabsorbable, natural looking and not too expensive. Although many biomaterials are currently on the market, none meets all the above criteria. The recent development of hyaluronic acid gels(Restylane○R) for dermal implantation is therefore particularly interesting in treating the aging face. Restylane○R is produced in cultures of Equine streptococci by fermentation in presence of sugar, the hyaluronic acid chains are then chemically stabilized through permanent epoxidic cross-links that the manufacturer reports to alter only about 1% of the hyaluronan molecular network. The resulting viscoelastic transparent gel, suitable for intradermal injection, has a concentration of 20 mg/ml, is delivered in disposable syringes (0.7ml) ready for use, using a 30 gauge needles. The twenty-one patients in thirty area were treated with facial intradermal implantation of hyaluronic acid gel for augmentation therapy of wrinkles and folds for recoutouring. The results were evaluated in all patients by subjective judgement by the physician and the patients. This study provides a clinical evaluation of safety and efficacy of a cross-linked stabilized non-animal hyaluronic acid gel to determine, its characteristics, advantages, disadvantages, and side-effects in Korea. We concluded that Restylane○R implantation was soft, easy to use and long lasting effective materials in augmentation therapy of soft tissue of face.
