Common Language Description

The procedure described by CPT® Code 11952 involves the subcutaneous injection of a filling material, which is commonly collagen. This procedure is typically performed to address various dermatological concerns, including the treatment of acne scars and facial wrinkles. The injection is administered beneath the skin's surface, allowing the filling material to provide volume and improve the appearance of the skin. The specific volume of filling material used in this procedure ranges from 5.1 to 10.0 cc, which is crucial for achieving the desired aesthetic results. It is important to note that there are different codes for varying volumes of injection: CPT® Code 11950 is used for injections of 1 cc or less, CPT® Code 11951 is for injections between 1.1 to 5.0 cc, and CPT® Code 11954 is designated for injections exceeding 10.0 cc. This structured coding system helps ensure accurate billing and documentation for the services rendered.
