Knowledge is Critical for Successful Outcomes: Current Landscape of Hyaluronic Acid Filler Use in the United States
When a recent article of Allure recently explored the science behind “medical-grade” skincare and aesthetic procedures, they touched on a topic that’s central to many dermatology practices today: hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers. Among the expert resources cited? A Journal of Drugs in Dermatology article offering a comprehensive overview of FDA-approved HA fillers.
While the Allure article is aimed at consumers, it highlights a truth every dermatologist knows well: aesthetic patients are increasingly informed—and curious—about what’s in their injectables. That’s where the JDD article becomes especially relevant.
Why this article is a must-read for dermatologists:
With 28 HA fillers now approved by the FDA, knowing the unique biochemical properties and treatment indications of each product is critical to successful outcomes. This cited JDD article titled “Current Landscape of Hyaluronic Acid Filler Use in the United States” goes beyond brand names to provide clinicians with a structured comparison of fillers, drawn from FDA premarket approval data and official product inserts.
For dermatologists performing soft-tissue augmentation, the article offers a go-to reference to help align product choice with patient goals and anatomical considerations—leading to more predictable, tailored results.
