ABSTRACT: Introduction: Dermal fillers industry is ever-expanding. Tens, if not hundreds, of brands are available to purchase legally or illegally. I have attempted in this paper to develop a scoring system for Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers that makes an injector’s verdict objective, fair and unbiased, and injection experience safer. Theoretically speaking, the worst filler will have, at least, ᆠ score and the best will have a score of 34 points. Some scoring points do not exist in any filler, suggesting hints to improve all brands. Objectives: To build a Hyaluronic acid dermal filler scoring system that deals with what the injector can easily read, see or experience on their own without using sophisticated technologies or the need to understand or estimate the physics or the chemistry behind the filler. Using a scoring system that depends more on objective than subjective findings will be easy and unbiased to apply, more practical. The scoring system structure should be holistic rather than being only results centered and more focused on safety.
