Improvement of facial wrinkles has been attempted through a number of modalities. For years we have used injectable liquid silicone (siloxane), with positive results. To confirm the effectiveness of siloxane, we injected it into the nasolabial folds of 50 patients and also performed a statistical analysis (Spearman rank correlation). Assessment was made by 3 observers. Our results were positive and statistically significant.
