Efficacy and Safety of BtH Body 2.2% (Injectable Hyaluronic Acid) in Volumizing and Contouring Large Areas of the Body: Prospective Clinical Investigation.

This clinical investigation is a prospective, interventional, single-center study designed to assess the safety and effectiveness of BtH Body 2.2%, a cross-linked hyaluronic acid injectable intended for aesthetic volumization and contouring of large body areas. The study enrolls 80 adult participants who seek aesthetic improvement in the gluteal region, thighs, or abdomen. Each participant will receive a single session of subcutaneous injections, with the option for a touch-up treatment at four weeks if clinically justified, and will be followed for a total of nine months.

The primary aim of the study is to determine whether BtH Body 2.2% produces a clinically relevant improvement in the treated area, assessed by the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS), and to evaluate the safety profile of the product by monitoring the incidence of serious adverse events throughout the study period. Secondary assessments will examine patient satisfaction, investigator-rated changes in aesthetic parameters such as volume, firmness, uniformity, elasticity, and overall appearance, as well as improvements in quality of life using validated questionnaires, including the Body Self-Esteem Scale and the Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I). Objective measurements of skin hydration, elasticity, firmness, and topography will also be obtained using specialized biometric devices.

The overall goal is to generate robust clinical evidence supporting the use of BtH Body 2.2% for safe and effective body contouring and volumization.

Treatment and study plan

BtH Body 2.2%

Device

Participants receive a single session of BtH Body 2.2%, a sterile, cross-linked hyaluronic acid hydrogel injected subcutaneously into one or more predefined body areas - gluteal region, thighs, or abdomen - to provide volumization and aesthetic contour improvement. Injections are performed using the cannulas provided with the product, following standard subcutaneous infiltration technique. An optional touch-up may be administered at the 4-week visit if the investigator considers it clinically necessary.

Primary outcomes

  1. Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS)

    Time frame: From enrollment until study completion (9 months)

    Investigator-rated overall aesthetic improvement of the treated area (5-point Likert scale). Improvement (scores from 3 to 5) in ≥60% of participants at V5 or V6 is considered clinically relevant.

  2. Incidence of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Time frame: From enrollment until study completion (9 months)

    Frequency of serious adverse events occurring at any point during the study.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Subject Satisfaction (Likert Scale)

    Time frame: Follow up visits: 4, 12, 24 and 36 weeks.

    Participant-reported satisfaction (5-point scale): very satisfied, satisfied, slightly satisfied, indifferent and dissatisfied, this scale will be recorded at follow-up visits.

  2. Aesthetic Parameter Scores (VAS)

    Time frame: From enrollment until study completion (9 months)

    Investigator-rated evaluation (VAS from 0 to 10) of volume, symmetry, shape, firmness, uniformity, hydration, elasticity, tonicity, and general appearance. Improvement from baseline is calculated.

  3. Quality of Life - Body Self-Esteem Scale (SEC)
