LC-OCT as a tool to visualize in vivo location of dermal fillers.
Background: Dermal fillers have emerged as a popular non-surgical solution for facial rejuvenation and enhancement. Apart from botulinum toxin injections, they are the most common non-surgical procedure performed in the US. Line-field optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT; deepLive system Damae Medical, France) represents one of the most recent developments in non-invasive skin imaging technologies.
Materials and methods: We performed LC-OCT image acquisition on six patients that were treated with hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers in various locations on the face. The images were acquired before the application of the fillers (T0), immediately after (T1), and at a 6- to 8-week (T2) follow-up visit.
Results: At T0, we were able to appreciate a normal-appearing epidermis, dermoepithelial junction, and dermis. At T1, the intradermal filler deposits appeared as homogeneously hyporeflective areas, clearly discernible from surrounding vessels and other structures. At T2, the deposits were distinguishable as hyporeflective areas, although they were diminished in size compared to T1. On enface view, collagen fibers had increased thickness and were more homogeneously organized and hyperreflective.
Conclusions: We established the usefulness of LC-OCT in the non-invasive evaluation of dermal HA fillers to visualize both short-term and medium-term effects. LC-OCT may be a valuable tool in evaluating the precise location of filler placement and follow-up of resulting in vivo changes.
期刊介绍:
Skin Research and Technology is a clinically-oriented journal on biophysical methods and imaging techniques and how they are used in dermatology, cosmetology and plastic surgery for noninvasive quantification of skin structure and functions. Papers are invited on the development and validation of methods and their application in the characterization of diseased, abnormal and normal skin.
Topics include blood flow, colorimetry, thermography, evaporimetry, epidermal humidity, desquamation, profilometry, skin mechanics, epiluminiscence microscopy, high-frequency ultrasonography, confocal microscopy, digital imaging, image analysis and computerized evaluation and magnetic resonance. Noninvasive biochemical methods (such as lipids, keratin and tissue water) and the instrumental evaluation of cytological and histological samples are also covered.
The journal has a wide scope and aims to link scientists, clinical researchers and technicians through original articles, communications, editorials and commentaries, letters, reviews, announcements and news. Contributions should be clear, experimentally sound and novel.
