What Researchers Did
Researchers reported on a 34-year-old woman who developed nasal skin damage after a hyaluronic acid filler injection and was treated with hyaluronidase and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
What They Found
The patient received 10,000 TRU of hyaluronidase in a high-dose pulsed manner, along with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. She showed gradual but significant improvement in her nasal skin necrosis over 60 days.
What This Means for Canadian Patients
For Canadian patients experiencing skin necrosis after hyaluronic acid filler injections, this case suggests that hyperbaric oxygen therapy, when used with hyaluronidase, may help improve outcomes. It highlights the importance of prompt treatment for such complications in aesthetic procedures.
Canadian Relevance
No direct Canadian connection identified.
Study Limitations
As a single case report, these findings cannot be generalized to a larger patient population.
