Data show demand for HA facial filler treatments has increased

Data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons showed that between 2013 and 2014, hyaluronic acid filler treatments increased by 8%.

This growth is supported by marketplace data, which show U.S. unit sales of hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers were up 17% in 2014, according to a press release from Allergan.

“These findings are consistent with what I see in my practice. Over the past few years, I have noticed a sharp increase in patients asking about non-surgical treatments such as dermal fillers,” David E. Bank, MD, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York, said in the release. “Patients are looking for aesthetic treatments that are relatively quick.”

Dermal fillers, also known as soft-tissue fillers, are used to fill in an area under the skin to help temporarily reduce facial lines and restore volume to the cheek lost to aging.
