Crosslinked HA vs non crosslinked HA:

Both types have their purpose, however non-cross linked HA flows in the dermis which plumps up the skin and softens lines, but when injected, does not stay put at the site of injection.

Cross linked HA has a chemical preservative called BDDE (Butanediol diglycidyl ether) that allows for the HA to fill the area and stay put in the place of injection.

When determining your filler, keep in mind that the manufacturing of the gel is key to ensuring quality. There are different variables you must consider when choosing your HA gel, such as the concentration of HA in the formula, what it is crosslinked with, and molecular size of HA. the smaller the molecule, the easier it is for the HA to transfer into the skin.

• Difference between HA and needle filler

Since the hyaluron pen is needleless, and uses high pressure to administer the product, the HA is dispersed evenly whereas needle injections are injected into one area and typically ball up rather than spreading throughout the area evenly.

 Hyaluron injections are a more natural alternative which leaves you with little to no side effects as well as no down time.

Needle injections have a  higher risk of side effects such as swelling, bruising, and the potential chance of hitting a nerve.
