Superficial Correction
Superficial facial lines and fine wrinkles generally involve the more superficial layers of facial tissue.
A filler intended for superficial correction is typically selected according to the specific product indication and its physical characteristics.
The objective is controlled correction while respecting the characteristics of the treated tissue.
Moderate Correction
Moderate wrinkles and selected soft-tissue applications may require a different balance of gel properties.
Depending on the indication, products may be used for wrinkle correction or applications such as lip contouring and augmentation.
Deep Correction and Volume Enhancement
Deeper wrinkles, folds and areas requiring volume restoration may require a formulation with characteristics suitable for deeper placement and greater structural support.
Facial contouring and midface volume enhancement are examples of applications where product characteristics and injection plane become particularly important.
Why Product Differentiation Matters
A portfolio containing products with different physical and rheological characteristics allows clinicians to select a formulation according to the intended application.
However, the terms "soft," "mild" and "hard" should not be interpreted as universal scientific categories. Their meaning is product-specific and should always be considered alongside the manufacturer's approved indications and technical characteristics.
Key Takeaway
The appropriate filler depends on the relationship between the treatment objective, anatomical area, tissue depth and characteristics of the individual product.
