TABLE 2.
Statements of consensus on the specific usage of CaHA contouring and biostimulation
| Consensus | Treatments for thicker Asian skin must be formulated differently from those for thinner Caucasian skin |
| The most commonly used dilution ratio for biostimulation in Asian skin is 1:1 | |
| The purpose of dilution in any acceptable diluent was to carry and disperse CaHA microspheres throughout areas targeted for regeneration and/or biostimulation | |
| The CaHA dilution volume used is irrelevant; it is the dose that ensures adequate coverage of treatment area by CaHA microspheres | |
| Perform MFU-V before CaHA injection, if both procedures are to be done on the same day | |
| As a practical guide to estimate the dose required for biostimulation indications, one CaHA syringe is used per patient’s hand surface area | |
| Both lidocaine and normal saline can be used for filler dilution |
Agreement by all Experts constituted a consensus. Statements reaching moderate (61%–80%) or no agreement are excluded from this table.
