The utilization of minimally invasive techniques has brought about a transformative shift in the approach to face rejuvenation, potentially representing one of the most notable advancements in facial plastic surgery in recent times. Originally employed to address the presence of fine lines and wrinkles, the application of fillers has now evolved to encompass the remediation of volume depletion and the enhancement of the aging visage. KOS® L in the dermis regulates water balance, osmotic pressure and ion flow and functions as a sieve, excluding certain molecules, enhancing the extracellular domain of cell surfaces and stabilizes skin structures by electrostatic interactions. The Research Question of the present study is the following: to collect sufficient clinical data to demonstrate compliance with the General Safety and Performance Requirements of KOS® L when used as intended.
