STYLAGE® XXL BI-SOFT® Clinical Studies and Real-World Outcomes
The product is reported to provide long-lasting results due to its cross-linked hyaluronic acid formula, which is slowly absorbed by the body. The duration of effect depends on the patient’s skin type, injection depth, and area treated. Results typically last 6-12 months. Real-world evidence suggests that touch-up sessions prolong the desired outcomes.
STYLAGE® XXL BI-SOFT® Drug Interactions
There are specific interactions to consider:
- Local anesthetics: STYLAGE® XXL contains lidocaine (optional), and should not be used in patients with known sensitivity to lidocaine or other amide-type local anesthetics.
- Anticoagulants: Patients using aspirin, NSAIDs, or blood thinners should avoid these medications one week before injection to reduce the risk of hematomas.
- Hepatic metabolism inhibitors: Avoid combining with drugs that inhibit liver metabolism.
