Abstract
In the other chapters of this volume, authors are describing injection techniques and general handling of hyaluronic acid gels. This class of dermal fillers is the mainstay of modern dermal filling practice around the world for the past 20 years. The practicing doctor, while studying the subject further in the medical literature, will most certainly face some debates on the physical properties of hyaluronic acid gels. In this chapter, we summarize and explain the main concepts of hyaluronic acid gel rheology. With this information, doctors should be able to see past commercial and marketing claims and make an educated choice on which products he should employ and what results he should expect.
