The new HA-DA hydrogel filler has excellent mechanical properties, biocompatibility, injectability, and can stably adhere to the injection site, potentially overcoming the limitations of commercial fillers.
With increasing interest in aging and skin care, the use of fillers to increase the volume of soft tissue volume is increasing globally. However, the side effects caused by the residual chemical crosslinking agents present in these fillers limit the effective application of commercialized filler products. Therefore, the development of a novel crosslinking system with a non-toxic chemical crosslinking agent is required to overcome the limitations of commercial hyaluronate (HA)-based fillers. In this paper, a new injectable hydrogel with enhanced mechanical properties, tissue adhesion, injectability, and biocompatibility is reported. The HA derivatives modified with catechol groups (HA-DA) were crosslinked by self-oxidation under in vivo physiological conditions (pH 7.4) without chemical crosslinkers to form hydrogels, which can be further accelerated by the dissolved oxygen in the body. The fabricated HA-DA filler showed excellent mechanical properties and could be easily injected with a low injection force. Further, the HA-DA filler stably attached to the injection site due to the tissue adhesion properties of the catechol groups, thus leading to an improved displacement stability. In addition, the HA-DA filler showed excellent cell viability, cell proliferation, and biocompatibility. Therefore, the HA-DA hydrogel is a novel soft tissue filler with great potential to overcome the limitations of commercial soft tissue fillers.
