Hylaform for Adolescents

Information on using Hylaform for adolescent patients is not abundantly available. Since the primary use of Hylaform is in erasing wrinkle lines in the face, adolescents would not constitute the biggest patient group for this kind of procedure. However, many adolescent patients do have acne, and another use for Hylaform is to minimize the effects of acne scarring.

Materials released from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons show that teenage patients do receive Hylaform treatments for a range of conditions. Doctors might suggest a Hylaform procedure to deal with acne that has been largely eradicated in a patient, to deal with a possible long-term cosmetic effects. In this case, many patients would wait until after their teenage years to receive this kind of treatment. In some cases, teenage patients might receive a Hylaform treatment for an acne related condition.

Individual adolescent patients should get opinions from qualified dermatology specialists about whether Hylaform is the right choice for treating an existing condition currently or in the future.
