In this completely revised new edition, all practical knowledge relevant to the use of hyaluronic acid fillers in dermato-esthetics is conveyed in line with the latest scientific and practical knowledge. In the expanded basic section, the latest findings on the anatomical relationships in the face and their age-related changes are vividly presented in a way that has never been seen before. The injection techniques have been updated and supplemented with new techniques for forehead volume, temple volumization, eyebrow lifting, infraorbital corrections, lip whitening and lip redness treatment, chin, chin-jaw line, and neck elastosis. The topic of side effect management has been supplemented with a section on the use of hyaluronidase for the effective treatment of side effects. Also new is a section on marketing, regulation, and jurisdiction in the field of esthetics.
The practical section provides detailed instructions on all aspects of treatment, which are illustrated with the help of photographs, drawings, and clear tables. The updated “filler navigator” remains a highlight as a decision-making aid for indication-related product selection. A particular focus is the detailed presentation of the individual applications, which are demonstrated step by step for all regions, and indications on the face using high-quality photographs, anatomical illustrations, and, as a new feature, video sequences integrated using QR codes. Classic treatment methods are mentioned as well as the innovative developments of recent years.
For the first time, the authors describe their holistic treatment approach called MIAC (minimally invasive augmentation surgery), which represents a synthesis of current techniques and possibilities with hyaluronic acid fillers. New authentic case studies give an impression of the benefits and effectiveness of the method and demonstrate for the first time the possibility of long-term improvement through hyaluronic acid therapy.
