What this trial studies

Revanesse® Renew+ is a non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid skin booster that combines low- and high-molecular-weight HA at 14 mg/mL for intradermal injections to improve dermal hydration and subtle texture. The Phase 4 study compares two treatment schedules — biweekly versus monthly — using clinical assessments, objective biophysical measurements, and participant-reported outcomes. Participants undergo standardized photographic and biometric evaluations at baseline and follow-up visits to quantify changes in skin hydration, suppleness, and appearance. The trial is conducted at a single site to establish practical, evidence-based dosing recommendations for aesthetic practice.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are immune-competent adults aged 30 or older who want to improve facial skin quality, are willing to receive intradermal HA injections, and can follow study visit and pre-visit requirements.

Not a fit: People seeking volume restoration rather than improved hydration and texture, those under 30, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, or anyone immunocompromised or unwilling to comply with visit requirements may not benefit from participation.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the study could identify a dosing schedule that provides more consistent or longer-lasting improvements in facial skin hydration and texture with this HA skin booster.

How similar studies have performed: Other non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid skin boosters have shown positive effects on skin hydration and texture in prior studies, though head-to-head comparisons of schedules and products remain limited.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Ability to adequately understand the verbal explanations and the written participant information provided in local language and ability and willingness to give consent to participate in the study. Signed and dated informed consent to participate in the study.
2. Participant interested in improving skin quality.
3. Immune-competent adult 30 years of age and older.
4. Has intent to undergo treatment to improve appearance of the facial skin.
5. Willingness to comply with pre-visit instructions, including shaving of facial area (for male participants), to allow for consistent biometric and photographic evaluations.
6. If the participant is a female of childbearing potential, she agrees to use an acceptable form of effective birth control for the duration of the study and is willing to take a urine pregnancy test (UPT) at Baseline and prior to receiving any study treatment.

   Acceptable forms of effective birth control include:
   * Barrier methods of contraception: Condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/ cream/suppository;
   * Bilateral tubal ligation;
   * Combined oral contraceptives (estrogens and progesterone), implanted or injectable contraceptives on a stable dose for at least 28 days prior to Day 1;
   * Hormonal or copper intra uterine device (IUD) inserted at least 28 days prior to Day 1;
   * Vasectomized partner (in monogamous relationship) for at least 3 months prior to screening;
   * Strict abstinence (at least one month prior to Baseline and agrees to continue for the duration of the study or use acceptable form of birth control).
7. Negative UPT for women of childbearing potential at the Baseline visit.
8. Stable lifestyle and skincare regimen for at least 4 weeks

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Known or suspected allergy or hypersensitivity to any components of Revanesse® Renew™+
2. Known allergy or intolerance to topical anesthetics or lidocaine.
3. History of hypersensitivity reactions such as anaphylaxis, angioedema, or other severe allergic responses.
4. History of hypertrophic scarring, keloid formation, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation following cosmetic treatments.
5. Tattoos, piercings, or skin bleaching agents in the treatment area that may interfere with assessments, as judged by the Investigator.
6. Previous cosmetic or dermatologic procedures in the treatment area within the following time frames:
7. Previous treatment with cross-linked hyaluronic acid dermal fillers in the treatment area within the last 12 months.
8. Energy-based devices (laser, IPL, RF, ultrasound) in the last 6 months.
9. Microneedling, dermabrasion, mesotherapy, or chemical peels in the last 6 months.
10. Use of topical corticosteroids, retinoids, or depigmenting agents in the treatment area within the past 4 weeks.
11. Current use of immunosuppressive therapy, systemic corticosteroids, or chemotherapy within the last 3 months.
12. History of systemic autoimmune, collagen vascular, or bleeding disorders (e.g., lupus, scleroderma, thrombocytopenia).
13. Current pregnancy, positive urine pregnancy test at screening, breastfeeding, or intent to become pregnant during the study.
14. Participation in another clinical study within the past 30 days or concurrent participation in another interventional trial.
15. Any condition, including psychological, cognitive, or behavioral concerns, that would interfere with the ability to give informed consent, follow the protocol, or comply with follow-up requirements.
16. Initiation of a weight loss program or GLP-1 agonist therapy within 30 days before baseline or planned during study period.
17. Current participation by study personnel, immediate family members, or employees of the Sponsor.
18. History of cancer or previous radiation near or on the area to be treated.
19. Heavy smokers, classified as smoking more than 12 cigarettes per day.
20. Presence of any disease or lesions near or on the area to be treated, e.g.

    1. Inflammation, active or chronic infection in or near the treatment area
    2. Psoriasis, eczema, herpes zoster and acanthosis
    3. Cancer or precancerous condition (e.g. actinic keratosis)
    4. Severe skin laxity, flaccidity, or sagging
    5. Advanced photoaged/ photodamaged skin (e.g., advanced skin elastosis, multiple lentigo solaris lesions) or skin condition (e.g., very crinkled, very thin, fragile skin or severe skin atrophy) in the treatment area that in the Investigator's opinion could interfere with the safety or effectiveness of the study product or injection procedure.
21. Skin coloring/bleaching/tattoo in the treatment area, which, in the Treating Investigator's opinion, would interfere with the study injections and/or study assessment.
22. An underlying known disease, a surgical or medical condition that would expose the participant to undue risk, e.g. history of bleeding disorders, active hepatitis, active autoimmune disease such as connective tissue diseases, systemic lupus erythematosus, polymyositis, dermatomyositis, multiple sclerosis or scleroderma.
23. Use of concomitant medication that have the potential to prolong bleeding times such as anticoagulants or inhibitors of platelet aggregation (e.g., warfarin, clopidogrel, aspirin, baby aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), Omega 3 or Vitamin E), within 14 days prior to injection. Omega 3 and Vitamin E are acceptable only as part of a standard Topical Multivitamin formulation. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX 2) inhibitors are allowed.
24. Treatment with chemotherapy, immunosuppressive agents, systemic corticosteroids within 3 months before treatment (inhaled or ophthalmic corticosteroids are allowed).
