Concomitant Use of Hyaluronic Acid and Laser in Facial Rejuvenation

ConclusionsThe currently available scientific evidence about the combined use of HA fillers and laser –radiofrequency–intense pulsed light (laser/RF/IPL) is limited and encompasses mainly small and nonrandomized studies. Nevertheless, most of these studies found that, on average, the concomitant use (same day) of laser and HA fillers for facial rejuvenation represents an effective and safe strat egy which improves clinical results and patient’s satisfaction. Future well-designed clinical studies are needed regarding the effectiveness and safety of combination filler/laser treatments.Level of Evidence IVThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
