New Wrinkle Fighters

Posting Date: 10/23/2003

Before considering treatment with a soft tissue filler, the American Academy of Dermatology recommends potential patients ask the following questions:

1. Are the results permanent or temporary?

2. What are the potential side effects?

3. Is the filler approved by the FDA or is it being used off-label?

4. How long has the physician used the filler? Ask how many patients the physician has treated and if before and after patient photos are available.

The American Academy of Dermatology, founded in 1938, is the largest, most influential, and most representative of all dermatologic associations. With a membership of over 14,000 dermatologists worldwide, the Academy is committed to: advancing the diagnosis and medical, surgical, and cosmetic treatment of the skin, hair and nails; advocating high standards in clinical practice, education, and research in dermatology; supporting and enhancing patient care for a lifetime of healthier skin.
