Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) has been used in various medical applications for decades, including aesthetic ones. The use of a cannula technique in injecting PLLA has been proposed in order to lower the incidence rate of adverse events (AEs) following treatment. Such AEs include nodule formation, which may occur less frequently by fanning the product with a cannula, thus creating a more uniform product placement compared to that resulting from the use of a needle. Currently, however, there is a lack of comparative research regarding the safety of cannulas versus needles for PLLA injections, as the selection of either remains highly subjective. Therefore, the objective of our study was to investigate the safety of cannula use in the administration of PLLA, in order to report safety outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Aesthetic™ in the face and/or neck regions. Twenty-seven subject charts met eligibility. Descriptive data regarding treatment and follow-up visits were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: A total of seven AEs resulted from eighty-two treatment sessions (8.54%), with 6/27 patients having experienced at least one AE (22.22%). Mild bruising was the most commonly reported AE (57.14%). The majority of the AEs were mild and transient in nature, with one moderate AE being a nodule that was possibly related to a concomitant treatment. All AEs were resolved with follow-up care. CONCLUSION: Mild AEs such as bruising, swelling and pain should be expected following the use of a cannula for PLLA injections. However, the incidence rates of AEs following treatment can remain low if proper product preparation and treatment techniques are utilized.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
