Filler rheology is the field that examines how a filler gel deforms and flows under force, with measurements such as elastic modulus, viscous modulus, and tan delta. Laboratory values support product selection, but s

Filler cohesivity is a physical property that describes the tendency of gel particles to maintain their integrity with each other. Cohesivity is interpreted together with elasticity, swelling capacity, concentration, and production technique.

Hyaluronic acid cross-linking is the manufacturing process that chemically links HA chains together, altering gel durability and physical properties. The degree of cross-linking, HA concentration, and manufacturing method

The filler aspiration test is checking for blood at the tip of the needle or cannula by pulling back the syringe plunger before injection. Negative aspiration does not definitively prove that one is not intravascular;
Vascular occlusion is the interruption of blood flow caused by filler being injected into a vessel or compressing one from outside. It is the rarest but most
A nodule is a hardness or lump felt in the skin after filler. Most are mild and temporary; some are related to infection, biofilm or a delayed inflammatory re
Not all hyaluronic acid fillers are the same. Fillers differ in density, cohesion and stiffness (elastic modulus, G'); these properties determine whether a pr
