Clinical Trial Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the improvement in signs of photoaging and subject
satisfaction after combination, global facial and/or neck treatment with IncobotulinumA
(Xeomin), HA (Belotero) and/or calcium hydroxyapatite (Radiesse+, Radiesse Classic). All
products will be used on-label FDA-cleared indications.
Description:
Facial and neck aging is multifactorial, resulting from changes in anatomical aspects
combined with changes in the skin integrity. The 5 key signs of photoaging will be evaluated
both objectively and subjectively including: fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, sagging
skin, pigmentation and redness/flushing. These aspects of the aging face are often bothersome
to patients who seek aesthetic treatments for correction.
Injectables, including IncobutolinumtoxinA, hyaluronic acid (HA), and calcium hydroxyapatite,
have grown in popularity over the past decade due to their safety profiles, favorable
results, and longevity. IncobutolinumtoxinA allows for correction of rhytides, while HA and
calcium hydroxyapatite allow for lifting, contouring, and overall re-volumization. Further,
calcium hydroxyapatite effectively restores volume and can improve skin texture through its
biostimulatory effects, which have been well studied in the literature. Through inducing
collagen formation in the skin, calcium hydroxyapatite can also improve skin quality and
thickness. In contrast to volumization effects, the overall improvement in skin quality has
not been as well studied. Further, it has been observed by patients and physicians that
global treatment with toxins and fillers can produce a better result in skin texture than
each agent on its own.
This study will consist of one treatment visit for global facial treatment using toxin and
fillers (Xeomin, Radiesse+, Radiesse Classic, Belotero Balance) to enhance signs of facial
photoaging and appearance.
This clinical investigation is a prospective study consisting of a screening/treatment visit
and 3 follow-up visits. A total of 20 patients will be recruited. Following informed consent
and screening, each eligible subject will be photographed with the Canfield Visia system.
They will be treated at Baseline Visit (Day 0) with Xeomin, Belotero Balance, Radiesse+,
and/or Radiesse Classic. Determination of which facial and/or neck areas to be treated will
be made after assessment by the investigator and discussion with the patient. All products
will be used on-label in their FDA-cleared manner. Post-treatment, patients will be
instructed to apply ice to all areas for 3-5 minutes immediately afterwards.
The patient will return at post-treatment months 1 and 3 for GAIS and FACE-Q Subject
Satisfaction and photography with the Canfield Visia system. A blinded independent evaluator
will evaluate the baseline and post-treatment photographs on a 5-point scale for fine lines
and wrinkles, enlarged pores, redness, flushing, pigmentation, and sagging skin.
