Energy‐Based Device Management of Nodular Reaction Following Poly‐D, L‐Lactic Acid Injection for Tear Trough Rejuvenation

ABSTRACT Background Poly‐D,L‐lactic acid (PDLLA) is used for tear trough rejuvenation but can cause complications like nodular reactions. This report describes using a radiofrequency device to manage these nodules. Case Presentation A 42‐year‐old woman developed firm, non‐inflammatory nodules 3 week...

Popis
Shrnutí:ABSTRACT Background Poly‐D,L‐lactic acid (PDLLA) is used for tear trough rejuvenation but can cause complications like nodular reactions. This report describes using a radiofrequency device to manage these nodules. Case Presentation A 42‐year‐old woman developed firm, non‐inflammatory nodules 3 weeks after receiving PDLLA (Juvelook) injections in the tear trough area. The nodules were firm and not associated with erythema or tenderness. Intervention The monopolar radiofrequency device was used directly on the nodules with 150 shots at an energy level 115 J, 28.75 J/cm². The treatment resulted in complete resolution of the nodules within 24 hours. Results The radiofrequency treatment effectively resolved the nodular reaction without recurrence, highlighting the device's compatibility with the unique structure of Juvelook's PDLLA. Conclusion Radiofrequency therapy is effective for managing nodular reactions following PDLLA injections. Further research is needed to optimise protocols and improve the safety of biostimulator treatments in cosmetic procedures.
