Effect of Adding Lidocaine to Hyaluronic Acid Gel for Volume Loss Correction: A Preliminary Observation

Introduction: Although adding a local anesthetic is an effective way to reduce pain during intradermal Hyaluronic Acid (HA) injections, it not clear if the control as when performing injections close bone. The primary aim of these preliminary observations was explore this issue. As secondary aim, we wanted assess addition lidocaine alters behavior HA gel in tissues over time. Subjects: Two women provided informed written consent participate study. Participants were blind type used for either temporal fossa. Methods: A cross-linked One side injected with and other without lidocaine, no particular order. Photographs from front, profile three-quarter left right frontal MRI scans taken before just after then every 6 months 2 years. Results: significantly less painful than that lidocaine. Both types changed shape on first but stayed stable thereafter till end our follow-up at 24 months. Based MRI, patient reported outcomes expert assessed aesthetic outcomes, using MAS® global improvement scale, both comparable. Conclusion: volumiser gels reduces remarkable degree.
