Introduced here are novel techniques and tools for augmenting the lips through superficial linear injection of dermal fillers. At a high level, these techniques are representative of a two-step approach to augmentation. In the first stage, an implement that is appropriately positioned inside a lip can be moved sideways—an action referred to as a “side push.” In the second stage, dermal filler can be ejected from the implement so as to fill the resulting void. These techniques can be used by healthcare professionals to reshape the lips for medical or aesthetic purposes. These techniques were developed in an attempt to permit augmentation of the outer surface of a lip so as to increase its volume by expanding sideways while turning the lip outward. Presented here are also tools to improve the accuracy of injection. With these techniques, the desired result-namely, a plumper lip—may be readily and consistently achievable.

The invention is based on hyaluronic acid-tyramine (hyaluronic acid-tyramine, HA-Tyr), a modified derivative of hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a fast cross-linking, biologically safe, anti-wrinkle / reducing agent in aesthetic applications, cheek, lip, under-eye, forehead and other facial area applications, It is related to a dermal filler material and production method that contains stem cell exosomes and thus creates a natural and longer-lasting filling environment by increasing collagen production at the injection site and also reduces inflammation thanks to the immunoregulatory properties of exosomes.

The present disclosure provides a method for reducing, removing, or dispersing a dermal filler aggregate in a subject. The method includes contacting a target area of the subject’s skin with a device configured to apply vibrational or mechanical energy, and applying vibrational energy to the target area for a duration sufficient to facilitate reduction, removal, or dispersion of the dermal filler aggregate. The vibrational energy may be applied while the device is held stationary over the aggregate or moved across the target area in vertical, horizontal, circular, or sweeping motions. In certain embodiments, the device is configured to contact the skin, and visible light is optionally applied during treatment. Application of vibrational energy promotes mechanical disruption and redistribution of dermal filler material within the surrounding tissue, thereby reducing the palpability or appearance of filler nodules, clumps, or irregularities.

A method for filtering or removing agglomerates of individual particles from a viscous substance, such as a dermal filler formulation, is provided. The method involves loading the viscous substance into an extrusion system with a sieve or filter located inside, outside, or adjacent to the system, or external thereto. The substance is extruded through the filter / sieve, which filters / removes agglomerates present in the viscous substance due to their larger size. Alternatively, pressure-based filtration causes the separation of individual particles, which causes the agglomerates to break down, allowing the viscous substance to pass through the extrusion system without clogging issues. The filtered viscous substance is suitable for administration to a patient. The present invention also describes a device for implementing the proposed pressure-based filtration technique.

A method of filtering or removing agglomerations of individual particles from a viscous material such as a dermal filler formulation is provided. The method involves filling the viscous material in an extrusion system comprising a sieve or filter placed inside, outside, adjacent to or outside the system. The material is forced to pass through the filter / sieve which causes filtration / removal of the agglomerates present in the viscous material owing to its larger size. Alternatively, the pressure-based filtration cause separation of the individual particles causing breakdown of the agglomerates, thereby allowing the viscous material to pass through the extrusion system without any occlusion problems. The filtered viscous material is suitable for administration to the patients. The invention also describes devices to carry out the proposed pressure-filtration technique.
