Treatment and study plan

hyaluronic acid gel

Device

Dosage per Investigator's discretion to obtain lip treatment goal; 1 touch-up treatment is allowed 14 days after initial treatment. Maximum total volume per subject is 2.0 mL

Primary outcomes

  1. Investigator Assessment of the Subject's Overall Lip Fullness on the 4-point Lip Fullness Scale

    Time frame: 3 months

    The responder rate at 3 months, where a responder was defined as an improvement (increase) on the Lip Fullness Scale of ≥ 1 grade compared with the baseline assessment

Secondary outcomes

  1. Investigator Assessment of Perioral Line Severity Using the Perioral Line Severity Scale

    Time frame: 12 months

    Score on 4-point Perioral Line Severity Scale, where 0 is none and 3 is severe. A decreased score indicates improvement.

  2. Investigator Assessment of Oral Commissures Using the Oral Commissures Severity Scale

    Time frame: 12 months

    Score on 4-point Oral Commissures Severity Scale, where 0 is none and 3 is severe. A decreased score indicates improvement.

  3. Subject Assessment of Appearance and Feel of the Lips Using the Look and Feel Scale

    Time frame: 3 months

    The scale consists of subcategories pertaining to how the subjects perceived aspects of their lips (e.g., softness, smoothness, etc). The outcome measure is the percentage of subjects who scored 0-3 on an 11-point scale, where a lower score on the scale indicates a positive result.

  4. Number of Subjects Who Attain Their Lip Treatment Goal

    Time frame: 1-12 months

    Prior to treatment and in consultation with the Investigator, the subject establishes a realistic lip fullness treatment goal. At follow-up, attainment is assessed as yes or no. The outcome measure is the percentage of subjects responding "yes" as to whether their pre-established lip fullness treatment goal had been attained.

  5. Adverse Events

    Time frame: 12 months
