Article Abstract
Background: Numerous fillers are increasingly used for augmentation of volume loss and relaxation of facial wrinkles. Collagen stimulators are the latest next-generation dermal fillers that can induce neocollagenesis. To investigate biophysical characteristics, safety, and efficacy of newly developed polydioxanone (PDO) filler in comparison with poly-l lactic acid (PLLA) and polycaprolactone (PCL) fillers.
Methods: In vitro assay, morphology of particles, and rheological property of fillers were measured. A total of 24 female hairless mice (SKH1-Hr ) were randomly divided into three groups and injected with PDO, PLLA, or PCL fillers. Durability of fillers was assessed at 0, 3 days, and 1, 4, 8, 12 weeks after injection using folliscope and PRIMOS. To determine biocompatibility and neocollagenesis, histologic evaluation was performed at 1, 4, 8, and 12 weeks after injection. Efficacy was also evaluated based on skin surface roughness changes using PRIMOS in a hairless mouse photoaging model.
Results: In the particle morphology test, PDO microspheres had an irregular surface and were spherical and uniformly sized. PDO filler demonstrated similar neocollagenesis and inflammatory response to other collagen stimulators. PDO filler showed better biodegradability than PLLA and PCL fillers. In the hairless mouse photoaging model, there was a statistically significant decrease in skin surface roughness after PDO filler injection.
Conclusions: Our data suggest that newly developed collagen stimulating PDO filler might be a safe and effective option for correction of volume loss and rejuvenation of photoaging skin.

Background: Dermal fillers have become prevalent in aesthetic surgery, offering noninvasive solutions for addressing signs of aging and enhancing facial features.
Methods: In this study, the in vivo administration of dermal fillers, including a hyaluronic-cross-linked filler (HA-R), a PDLLA-HA combined filler (HA-PDLLA), a microparticle PDO filler (PDO), a PN filler extracted from salmon milt (PN), and pure hyaluronic acid (HA), along with PBS as a control, was evaluated over a 12 week period.
Results: HA-R exhibited sustained volume retention, contrasting with rapid volume loss observed with PN, and gradual dissolution of PDO by week 12.

Background: Infraorbital hollowness significantly impacts facial aesthetics, contributing to a tired and aged appearance. Traditional treatments, such as fillers and botulinum toxin, can lead to unnatural results. Volumizing threads offer a minimally invasive alternative for enhancing infraorbital and midcheek areas.

BACKGROUND Steroid-induced atrophy is a common complication of intralesional corticosteroid use, characterized by thinning of the dermis and epidermis, reduced fibroblast activity, and subcutaneous fat atrophy. Traditional treatment modalities, including topical therapies, dermal fillers, and fat grafting, often yield variable results and present limitations such as invasiveness, temporary effects, or complications. This case report presents a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of steroid-induced atrophic scars (SIAS) on the face, using fractional CO₂ laser therapy, recognized for its ability to promote dermal remodeling and scar improvement.

Facial rejuvenation procedures have gained popularity as individuals seek nonsurgical methods to address signs of aging. These procedures encompass a range of minimally invasive techniques, including botulinum toxin applications, dermal fillers, PRP, and thread lifting. This study aimed to assess patient satisfaction and evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes of these minimal invasive facial rejuvenation procedures.

Recently, various biocompatible and biodegradable materials have garnered significant attention as cosmetic fillers for skin rejuvenation. Among these, poly ε-caprolactone (PCL), poly L-lactic acid (PLLA), poly D,L-lactic acid (PDLLA), and polydioxanone (PDO) microspheres have been developed and commercialized as a dermal filler. However, its irregularly hydrophobic microspheres pose hydration challenges, often causing syringe needle blockages and side effects such as delayed onset nodules and papules after the procedure.
