About this study

A total of 36 participants are planned to be enrolled in the study (18 in each group: Group 1 - product administration using a needle; Group 2 - product administration using a cannula).

The primary endpoint will be the change in facial skin thickness resulting from three administrations of the DensiStim product, assessed no later than 8 weeks after the last procedure, based on ultrasound (US) measurements. Ultrasound measurements will also be compared between visits and between study arms.

Changes in aesthetic improvement will be assessed by both the participant and the Investigator. The safety of the investigational medical device will also be evaluated.

Clinical assessment

Procedure

Clinical assessment of facial skin condition

Ultrasound measurement

Procedure

Ultrasound measurement of facial skin thickness

Multispectral Imaging

Procedure

Multispectral imaging and analysis of facial skin

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in facial skin thickness

    Time frame: No later than 8 weeks after the last injection

    Change from baseline in facial skin thickness following three intradermal administrations of the DensiStim product, based on ultrasound measurements.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in facial skin thickness based on ultrasound measurements, comparison between visits

    Time frame: baseline, 1 month after first injection, 1 month after second injection, 1 month after third injection and 2 months post-treatment

  2. Change in facial skin thickness based on ultrasound measurements, comparison between study arms

    Time frame: baseline, 1 month after first injection, 1 month after second injection, 1 month after third injection and 2 months post-treatment

  3. Change in facial skin parameters based on multispectral skin analysis

    Time frame: baseline, 1 month after first injection, 1 month after second injection, 1 month after third injection and 2 months post-treatment

  4. Change in aesthetic improvement and psychological well-being scores, assessed by participants

    Time frame: baseline, 1 month after first injection, 1 month after second injection, 1 month after third injection and 2 months post-treatment

    Change in aesthetic improvement scores (skin hydration, elasticity, firmness, visibility of deep and fine wrinkles, skin tone, and tone evenness) were assessed on a 0-10 scale, where 0 represented the worst score for a given parameter and 10 represented the best score for that parameter; psychological well-being scores were assessed on a 4-point ordinal scale ('very unsatisfactory', 'rather unsatisfactory', 'rather satisfactory', 'very satisfactory').

  5. Change in aesthetic improvement scores, assessed by the Investigator

    Time frame: baseline, 1 month after first injection, 1 month after second injection, 1 month after third injection and 2 months post-treatment

    Change in aesthetic improvement scores (skin hydration, elasticity, firmness, visibility of deep and fine wrinkles, skin tone, and tone evenness) were assessed on a 0-10 scale, where 0 represented the worst score for a given parameter and 10 represented the best score for that parameter.

  6. Percentage of participants satisfied with the results of the injections

    Time frame: 1 months and 2 months post-treatment

  7. Post-injection sensation scores, assessed by participants using the Numeric Rating Scale Questionnaire

    Time frame: after first injection, after second injection, after third injection

    NRS scale 0-10, where 0 indicates no pain/stinging/burning/sensation of pressure, and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain/stinging/burning/sensation of pressure

  8. Incidence of adverse events by event type

    Time frame: From enrollment to 2 months after the last injection

  9. Percentage of participants who discontinued treatment due to adverse events

    Time frame: From enrollment to 2 months after the last injection
