The exclusion criteria were studies with less than 10 participants and studies that did not use synthetic dermal fillers. To assess the risk of bias in the included studies, the Cochrane Collaboration's Risk of Bias tool was used for randomized controlled trials, and in observational studies, the Newcastle\u2013Ottawa Scale was used.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty\u2010six studies were included with a total of 1121 participants.
