Cheek Filler Clinical Trial
Seeking volunteers to evaluate a soft-tissue filler for the cheeks
Our site is currently taking part in a clinical trial (the ACTIVIZE Trial) that intends to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational treatment to increase volume in the mid-face area (cheeks region). As we age, we may lose fat and muscle contour in the cheek or mid-face area. This causes a sunken or hollow look that can make people appear older.
You may qualify to participate in this voluntary research study if you:
- Are healthy female or male of at least 22 years of age
- Have moderate to severe loss of volume in your mid-face (cheeks) (called mid-face volume deficit)
- Are interested in improving the appearance of your mid-face (cheeks)
- Have not had any temporary dermal filler treatment anywhere in the face in the past 24 months prior to enrollment, semi-permanent fillers (calcium hydroxyapatite or poly-L-lactic acid) in the past 36 months prior to enrollment, or permanent facial implants or fat injection at any point prior to enrollment
- Have not had any botulinum toxin injection in the cheeks or around the eyes in the past 6 months prior to enrollment
- Have not had any other facial cosmetic procedures in the past 6 months prior to enrollment
The study will last up to 22 months and consist of up to 17 office visits and 3 phone calls, depending on if you receive optional retreatment. If you choose to participate in this clinical trial, all trial-related treatments and trial-related care will be provided at no cost during participation. Compensation may be provided for travel and expenses. The study will be conducted at the Westlake location of Westlake Dermatology (8825 Bee Caves Rd, Austin, TX) by Drs. Daniel Friedmann and Heidi Prather, both board-certified dermatologists.
