A revised and updated guide to facial shaping and contouring with injectable fillers

In the innovative field of cosmetic dermatology, the range of products and methods available to patients is expanding all the time. Prominent among these are facial fillers, which, when injected into and beneath the skin, help alleviate wrinkles and improve smoothness. However, the many fillers on offer have varying characteristics and effects, and practitioners must be properly trained in order to administer them safely and successfully.

Injectable Fillers offers those performing these popular procedures an in-depth and far-reaching survey of current best practices, with a strong emphasis on safety. Covering everything from the science behind facial fillers to their appropriate means of application, the book places each product in context, demonstrating the pros and cons of the expanding range of hyaluronic acids and calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres, and exploring injectable submental fat reduction with sodium deoxycholate. This second edition broadens the scope of discussion to also include chin, mandible, temple, nose, brow, and forehead injections, as well as the use of cannulas as an alternative to needles. Injectable Fillers features:
* Simple, step-by-step diagrams to help readers master injection techniques
* Access to a companion website containing instructional videos
* The most recent safety and efficacy data
* Chapters covering all prominent facial areas

Essential reading for dermatologists and aesthetic medicine specialists alike, this informative yet easy-to-navigate guide is designed to keep practitioners up to date with the latest developments in the use of facial fillers.
