After treating their first and last patients, the clinicians completed a survey on preferred injection methodology/technique, including injection angle, volume, and spacing. An expert panel (n = 12) discussed survey results and their clinical experiences to obtain consensus on VYC-12L technique and appropriate treatment areas.Results: Recommendations included micro-depot injections of VYC-12L into the deep dermis with a 32G ½ inch needle inserted at < 45º to the skin, spaced 0.5‒1.0 cm apart, with 0.01‒0.05 mL volume per injection (full-face total volume: ∼ 2 mL). Recommended primary treatment areas were the malar, perioral, neck, and décolletage regions. Injection techniques for different treatment areas/demographic characteristics were similar, with some variability in treatment approach. Patient selection criteria, pre- and post-treatment guidelines, and managing patient expectations are important components of treatment.Conclusion: These consensus recommendations may assist clinicians in optimizing the treatment of fine lines with VYC-12L.Keywords: consensus, hyaluronic acid, injectable dermal filler, dermis, skin aging, Juvéderm Volite |
