The increasing popularity of cosmetic injections using various fillers and neuromodulators for facial rejuvenation has brought both new opportunities and challenges to this field.
Our study was designed to employ bibliometric and visual analysis for a qualitative and quantitative evaluation of facial cosmetic injections, as well as to identify research trends and hotspots in this field.
All publications covering facial cosmetic injection during 2002-2023 were retrieved and extracted from the Web of Science database. The VOSviewer 1.6.18 software and the online tool (http://bibliometric.com/) were applied to analyze the publication trend.
A total of 3797 articles related to facial cosmetic injection were identified during the period 2002-2023. The United States had the largest volume of publications (1520, 40.0%), followed by China (333, 8.8%) and Germany (282, 7.3%). Among the institutions and journals, the University of California system and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery accounted for the most papers related to facial cosmetic injection, respectively. Facial anatomy and injection techniques, prevention and management of complications, regenerative medicine, efficacy and safety of various soft-tissue fillers, as well as botulinum toxin injections for facial rejuvenation were identified as hotspots for facial cosmetic injections.
Facial cosmetic injections are showing an increasing trend in terms of both the number of published papers and operations performed. Despite the notable advancements in this field, numerous challenges persist, including safety concerns and the level of research evidence. With the emergence of novel technologies and materials, scholars from diverse countries and institutions should engage in more extensive collaboration, thereby directly expediting the progress of this field.
使用各种填充剂和神经调节剂进行面部年轻化的美容注射日益普及，给该领域带来了新机遇和挑战。
我们的研究旨在采用文献计量学和可视化分析对面部美容注射进行定性和定量评估，并确定该领域的研究趋势和热点。
检索并从科学网数据库中提取2002年至2023年期间所有涉及面部美容注射的出版物。应用VOSviewer 1.6.18软件和在线工具（http://bibliometric.com/）分析出版趋势。
2002年至2023年期间共识别出3797篇与面部美容注射相关的文章。美国的出版物数量最多（1520篇，占40.0%），其次是中国（333篇，占8.8%）和德国（282篇，占7.3%）。在机构和期刊方面，加利福尼亚大学系统和《整形与重建外科》分别发表了与面部美容注射相关的最多论文。面部解剖学与注射技术、并发症的预防与处理、再生医学、各种软组织填充剂的疗效与安全性以及用于面部年轻化的肉毒杆菌毒素注射被确定为面部美容注射的热点。
面部美容注射在发表论文数量和手术操作方面均呈上升趋势。尽管该领域取得了显著进展，但仍存在诸多挑战，包括安全问题和研究证据水平。随着新技术和材料的出现，不同国家和机构的学者应开展更广泛的合作，从而直接推动该领域的进展。
