Jowl Improvement With Injectable Fillers
Jowl Improvement With Injectable Fillers: Jawline Injections Alone vs Jawline and Cheek Injections
Study Overview
Detailed Description
This study is proposed to evaluate the best protocol for achieving improvement in the sagging jawline.
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC will be injected in each of 16 women with sagging of grades 1-3 using a published jawline evaluation scale.
Patients will be randomized into 1:1 into 2 groups:
Patient Group 1: JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC 1-2 syringes (each syringe is 1 cc) will be injected bilaterally into the lateral jawline and inferior cheek area (preauricular area) (the latter area will be added if necessary to achieve visual improvement in jowl attenuation). Total syringes used per person will have a range of 1-2)
Patient Group 2: JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC 1-3 syringes (each syringe is 1 cc) will be injected bilaterally into the lateral cheek (zygomatic) area plus JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC 1-2 syringes (each syringe is 1 cc) will be injected into the lateral jawline and inferior cheek area (preauricular area) (the latter area will be added if necessary to achieve visual improvement in jowl attenuation). Total syringes used per person will have a range of 2-5)
High-resolution photographs from multiple angles will be taken in identical lighting and position with the VISIA CR (clinical research) and with the Fotofinder at baseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 or 16 weeks. Additional real-time video telemedicine visits will take place at 6 months and 12 months. In addition, a 72-hour safety phone call will be completed with the subject after each injection session. All visit timing will be based on the last injection session. One blinded dermatologist and one unblinded dermatologist will rate the patient's severity of jowling based on the Jawline Rating Scale (JRS) (1) at the 4-week, 8-week, and either 12 or 16-week visits. The patient will also rate their jowling based on the JRS as well as their satisfaction with the procedure.

- Patients who received any investigational product within 30 days prior to study enrollment or were planning to participate in another investigation during the course of this study.
- Patients who have begun using any new over-the-counter or prescription oral or topical, anti-wrinkle products below the subnasal area within 30 days before enrollment or was planning to begin using such products during the study (participants who had been on a regimen of such products for at least 30 days were eligible for the study if they intended to continue their regimen throughout the study).

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Blinded Physician Jawline Rating Scale (JRS) Assessment on Scale of 0 to 4 at Baseline Versus 4 Weeks After Last Injection.
Time Frame: Baseline to 4 weeks after last injection.
|
The primary outcome is a reduction of 1 or more points of the Jawline Rating Scale (JRS) Assessment (on a scale of 0 to 4) at baseline versus that at 4 weeks from the last injection (whether initial or touch-up) based on one blinded dermatologist rating. (A lower number will mean a better outcome) All subject data in respective groups were averaged into a single value at each time point. To clarify the Time Point "4 Weeks from last injection" it means 8 to 12 weeks after baseline as subjects were eligible for treatment 4 weeks after baseline and possible retreatment 8 weeks after baseline. The study wanted to capture results 4 weeks after last injection. |
