Polycaprolactone facial volume restoration of a 46-year-old Asian women: A case report

Abstract

A 46-year-old Asian women was treated with a next-generation bioresorbable biostimulatory polycaprolactone (PCL)-based dermal filler to restore facial volume loss. Before- and after (12 weeks of follow-up)-treatment photographs were analyzed and compared. In addition, before- and after-treatment contour images were recorded using the Vectra® XT 3D imaging system (Canfield Scientific, Inc.). Improvement of facial volume in multiple tissue layers was observed at 4 and 12 weeks of follow-up. Total facial rejuvenation to correct descending soft tissue with a PCL-based dermal filler was achieved through volume restoration in multiple tissue layers of the face.

Keywords: PCL; neocollagenesis; polycaprolactone; volumizing.
