A Prospective, Randomized-controlled Trial Comparing Superficial Injections With Poly-L-Lactic Acid in the Temporal Fossa Versus Extended Temporal Fossa + Hairline
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Traditional technique and Experimental technique for Aging. Completed, enrolled 24 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The use of poly-L-Lactic acid (PLLA) has demonstrated significant improvement in multiple facial and body regions. Its use in the temporal fossa is the ideal location to demonstrate its impact on neocollagenesis given its distinct anatomic boundaries. Furthermore, the fact that the lateral boundary of the temporal region can extend into the hairline allows for a graded effect to be measured. Therefore, this study aims to extend these findings by evaluating the efficacy and safety of two injection techniques for volumizing temporal hollows.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Subjects randomized to the traditional technique will receive 3cc of PLLA (per side, per treatment) in the anterior temporal region.
Subjects randomized to the extended technique will receive 3cc of PLLA (per side, per treatment) in the anterior temporal region, as well as 2cc (per side, per treatment) in the posterior (i.e., behind the hairline) temporal region.
