The effect of a novel HA-based filler manufactured with a novel 3D structure (XTRTM technology) was assessed in the nasolabial fold.Patients and Methods: We performed a retrospective study of patients who underwent treatment of the nasolabial fold with a novel HA filler in our clinic. Treatment outcome was assessed at 3 and 6 months with wrinkle score, GAIS, and VAS.Results: Eighteen patients were injected with the novel HA filler in the nasolabial fold. At six months, mean wrinkle scores were improved on both sides compared to baseline. GAIS and VAS were high at three and six months.Conclusion: The HA-based filler manufactured with XTRTM technology is safe and effective in treating the nasolabial fold. Good aesthetic results were seen for up to 6 months. Patient satisfaction was high during the entire follow-up.Keywords: filler injection, face rejuvenation, monophasic, crosslinking technology
