Nonsurgical Infraorbital Rejuvenation: A Study on the use of Cost-effective Autologous Biofiller
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background– The aging of the mandibular area is influenced in part by the infraorbital region, a very impressionable area. Traditional treatments included surgical removal of skin, muscles, and fat, in addition to other non-invasive procedures like as chemical peels and dermal fillers. Autologous plasma gelbiofiller is a gelatinous material created from the patient's platelet-poor plasma.
Aim and Objectives- The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of Biofiller in reducing wrinkle depth and improving infraorbital skin texture.
Methods– Twenty-five people, ages 40 to 65, were recruited at random to participate in a prospective observational study at the RKDF Dental College and Research Center in Bhopal. Biofiller and platelet deficient plasma gel are injected using a 30 gauge needle. Per eyelid, the volume using the linear thread method may be anything from 0.1 to 0.45 ml. Lemperle's defect scale, a visual simple scale (VAS), and a visual record recorded before and after four months of therapy were used to assess the cases.
Result– The research had 25 total participants. Average wrinkle severity was 2.29 before treatment and 1 after. This result was supported by statistical analysis. Only 4 patients reported only moderate improvement (VAS 2+), while 1 patient reported no change in texture or volume. Two people had side effects of bruising, and one person experienced side effects of swelling after 24 hours.
Conclusion– An alternate and more cost-effective method for infraorbital rejuvenation is the use of a platelet deficient plasma gel or biofiller.
