Abstract (original English)

Dermal filler injection is a cornerstone of facial rejuvenation procedures. Based on available data in animal and human studies, we suppose that the activation and proliferation of adipose-derived stem cells and expansion of mature adipocytes play a crucial role in long-term effects of volumizing, tissue tightening and beautification.
