How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Laser-induced microjet injector (Mirajet)
The left/right assignment was sealed in a nontransparent envelop.
Mirajet injection was performed 2-3 passes until a total of 2cc of diluted PLA/HA solution was completely injected to the one half of the face.
Other Names:
  • polylactic acid (PLA)/hyaluronic acid (HA) composite dermal filler
Active Comparator: Needle injection (control)
The left/right assignment was sealed in a nontransparent envelop.
For traditional method of needle injection, intradermal injection using multi-puncture/micro-papule technique was used. A series of injections at 0.5-1 cm apart was performed on one half of the face so that a total of 2cc of diluted PLA/HA solution was injected.
Other Names:
  • polylactic acid (PLA)/hyaluronic acid (HA) composite dermal filler
