December 10, 2025 updated by: i+Med S.Coop.

Post-marketing Clinical Investigation to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of BtHCROSS for Restoring Facial Volume and Filling Facial Folds and Wrinkles

This clinical study investigated the safety and effectiveness of BtHCROSS, a hyaluronic acid-based injectable used to restore facial volume and reduce wrinkles. Adults aged 30 to 70 received a single treatment and were monitored over 9 months. Researchers assessed improvements in facial appearance and recorded any side effects. The results aimed to support the product's continued safe use in aesthetic treatments.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Determine the BtHCROSS' efficacy in improving the facial volume loss
Time Frame: 6 months
To determine how effective BtHCROSS is in improving volume loss in the mid-face region comparing the skin's condition before and after treatment. This evaluation is carried out by medical professionals using validated aesthetic scales, depending on the specific product model. The measurements were done using the MFVLS (Mid-Face Volume Loss Scale) a 0-5 scale, 0 being good outcome and 5 being the worst outcome.
6 months
Determine the BtHCROSS' efficacy in improving facial wrinkle severity
Time Frame: 6 months
To determine how effective BtHCROSS is in improving wrinkle severity comparing the skin's condition before and after treatment. This evaluation is carried out by medical professionals using validated aesthetic scales, depending on the specific product model. The measurements were done using the WSRS(Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale) a 0-5 scale, 0 being good outcome and 5 being the worst outcome.
6 months
Determine the BtHCROSS' efficacy in improving lip fullness
Time Frame: 6 months
To determine how effective BtHCROSS is in improving vlip fullness comparing the lips's condition before and after treatment. This evaluation is carried out by medical professionals using validated aesthetic scales, depending on the specific product model. The measurements were done using the LFGS (Lip Fullness Grading Scale) a 0-5 scale, 0 being good outcome and 5 being the worst outcome.
6 months
Safety Outcome
Time Frame: 9 months
The study evaluates the safety of BtHCROSS by systematically recording and analyzing any serious adverse events that occur during the treatment period.
9 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Exploratory objective - Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) by investigator
Time Frame: 6-9 months
To assess overall aesthetic improvement using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS), a widely used 5-point Likert scale ranging from "Exceptional Improvement" (5) to "Worsening" (1). This measurements were done by the investigator.
6-9 months
Exploratory objective - Subjective self assessment of the treatment by the patient
Time Frame: 6-9 months
After the final treatment session, each participant self-assessed their perceived improvement through a likert-type 5 point brief questionnaire, which answers were (worsening, no changes, improvement, important improvement and exceptional improvement)
6-9 months
