14 Frequently Asked Questions and Correctly Known Mistakes
Understand the mechanism on 3-4th pages first; then read profile cards of three products. Use the comparison table to prepare for the doctor's interview, not a "product selection tool" alone. Last decision; anatomy, skin quality, past processes, diseases, drugs used and complication management capacity together
should be evaluated.
Aging is not only “hacim loss”; the skin, fat compression, bonds and bone structure vary together.
Collagen is one of the main structural proteins that contribute to the durability of the dermis. Timely fibroblast activity, extracellular matrix organization and skin quality change. Sun exposure, smoking, sleep, nutrition, hormonal status and genetic properties may affect the visible aging speed.
The best result is often not “getting out” but naturally improving skin quality, transitions and facial rates.
These products carry a common purpose; but material, carrier, injection technique and clinical behaviors are not the same.
Biostimulators aim to support collagen production and matriks restructuring through biodegradable particles. Some may have early volume effect thanks to the carrier gel; some stand out with more weeks and gradual results in months.

PCL, CaHA and PLLA can be quickly “removable” HA fillers are not as Critical difference, so planning and practitioner experience are important.
PCL is composed of microspheres and CMC gel carrier; it is aimed to combine biostimulation in the same product with volume support.
Ellansé is a product that homogenous polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres are decorated in carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). The gel contributes to volume effect in early period; PCL microspheres are associated with the formation of new collagen in time.
The promises in the form of " stays up to the year" can be misleading.
Management of problems such as nodül can be more complex.

Calcium hydratric microspheres can be assessed on the configuration or skin quality chamber according to the way of use.
Radiesse is an injectable product with calcium hydratit (CaHA) microspheres in CMC gel.
Volume and contour support when used without dilution; when used in language or hyperdilue, the target of skin quality and looseness in a more common area may be at the forefront.

“Hiperdilue Radiesse” is not a single standard prescription. The dilution rate can vary according to the region and the protocol of the doctor.
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is a biostimulator that can increase in time of pronouncedness and is often planned with multiple sessions.
Sculptra is based on PLLA particles prepared by watering. A part of the volume seen during the injection depends on the watering fluid and can be reduced within a few days. The main target is the growing collagen response in weeks and months.
The only type “5-5-5 rule” should not be accepted automatically for each patient.

There is no single answer to the question “What’s better?” The right product is determined by the target area, skin thickness, volume requirement, facial movements, previous fillings, risk tolerance and experience of the practitioner. HA filler, energy-based device, surgical or no operation can be more accurate in some patients.
The product should be started with the definition of problems, not the name.

The natural and slow change request PLLA mainly stands out with its gradual character.

Botulinum is possible to combine with toxins, HA fillers, laser, radiofrequency, ultrasound or rope applications; however, in order, timing and use in the same session should be planned in terms of security. “More transactions = better results”.

The same camera, light, distance, head position and facial expression can be misleading the “before-sonra” photos taken without being used. The result should be evaluated not only from one point, but with touch, movement, symmetry and patient satisfaction.

Severe or increasingly increasing pain is not "normal swelling" in the skin color, whitening/purification, coldness, bubble, vision change or neurological symptom. Do not wait; ask for urgent evaluation.
There is no standard, fast and universal “break” method for PCL, CaHA and PLLA. This
makes it important.
Personal instructions of the clinic are always primary.
Sculptra post massage can be recommended in some protocols, it is not valid for every product and every region. Uncontrolled massage in Ellansé or Radiesse can contribute to the displacement of the product or tissue trauma.
Personal instruction is essential.
Short answers are for you to prepare for a doctor’s call.
No. It is also important to change the irreversibility, complication management and the time of the face.
If the dosage is correct to the region and the technique, the natural result is targeted; but the choice of excessive application or incorrect patient can lead to the appearance of inflate/flate.
Depends on product and goal. PLLA often serial session, CaHA and PCL may require single or additional session according to your requirement.
The early carrier gel effect can be on PCL and CaHA. The first liquid effect in PLLA is temporary, the main result is gradual.
Unlike HA fillings, there is no standard, fast and universal melting method for these three products.
No. Biological response and clinical effect decreases over time; the aging process continues.
Sometimes it is possible; however, it is necessary to plan personal because of the risk of ranking, region, infection and inflammation.
The product affects the cost and safety of originality, cold chain/mixing, sterileity, anatomy knowledge and emergency complication equipment.
“Biostimulator is riskless because it is natural.” wrong. Although the body is intended to support collagen response, product injection carries serious risks such as infection, nodule, vascular congestion, necrosis and very rarely vision loss.
The safe decision starts with the correct clinical and accurate indication before the product name.
Ellansé, Radiesse and Sculptra are not one-to-one equivalent products for the same purpose. PCL is more pronounced structure and early support; skin quality applications diluted with CaHA volumeization; PLLA can stand out with gradual and common biostimulation approach. The safest choice is not “most popular product”; the right patient, the right region,
is the combination of experienced physicians ready for correct dose and complications management.
