Figure 2

Visualization of a Hydrogel 2 soft tissue filler deposit located in the subcutis and its development over time using OCT. Data was acquired (a) 0, (b) 2, (c) 4, (d) 8, (e) 12, (f) 16, (g) 20 and (h) 24 weeks after injection. Cross sectional images 2, 4 and 8 weeks after injection reveal an increase in volume through the more nodular form of the deposit and the increased area (due to water uptake within the first weeks), as compared to the cross section obtained directly after injection. At weeks 12 to 24 (e-h), the deposit appears smaller and levels out.
