“…3 The extent and amount of crosslinking critically impact, not only on the biophysical, but also on the biological properties of a particular filler, including tissue integration, water uptake (swelling), and resistance to degradation. 6,7 Additionally, the type and density of HA crosslinkage, as well as the manufacturing technology, may influence not only the in vivo persistence but also the safety profile of dermal fillers. 6,7 When HA filer is injected, the effect of soft tissue volume and shape enhancement is in theory limited to 6-18 months depending on the type of filler used, the anatomical site, and the individual patient's genetics.…”
