Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers are among the most used products in cosmetic medicine. Companies offer different formulations to allow full facial treatment and/or remodeling. Gels are being studied to establish the biophysical properties behind the specific clinical use and a correlation between the gel biophysical properties and their clinical performance. Clinicians' awareness is growing about the potential benefit deriving from such biophysical characterization.
