Hylaform: a new hyaluronic acid filler.

Author: Monheit GD

Author affiliation: Department of Dermatology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL, USA.

Publication date & source: 2004.05, Facial Plast Surg., 20(2):153-5.

Hylaform is a new facial filler composed of hyaluronic acid. Hylaform is derived from an avian source, and is a clear gel substance. Skin testing is not necessary, although rare allergic reactions can occur form the avian protein content. Hylaform is injected into the dermis to add volume and provide a rapid correction of facial contour defects. It works particularly well in wrinkles, grooves, and thin lips deflated from aging changes.
