A fun little history lesson on the FDA approvals of many of our HA Fillers.
It’s interesting, we talk about fillers being around for 20+ years, but in reality many of our indications have been around for less than 10. With several approved just in the last 5!
This speciality is truly still in its infancy.
We are still learning so much about these products and their behavior in the tissue over time.
There’s a lot of fear mongering around these products as of late. And no doubt they have been misused and there have been some gnarley outcomes because of it. (It’s not the fillers fault!)
But I personally do not think that their use is just history.
I still find them to be the safest, most controllable, and most predictable modality we have for true volume loss or structural deficiency.
When used appropriately, and not in excess, HA Fillers are magical.
What surprised you most about this timeline???
For me it was the year that lips were finally approved.
I’ve been injecting them since 2004!!!
