Cheek filler gel shows promise in clinical trial

NCT ID NCT05747456

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tested a new gel called IPN-21-SENSE, made from hyaluronic acid, to restore lost volume in the mid-face (cheeks). 89 adults aged 30-84 who wanted cheek volume correction were randomly assigned to get the gel or no treatment. The gel was injected into the cheek area, with an optional touch-up. The main goal was to see if the gel improved cheek volume more than no treatment after 24 weeks. Results showed it worked better than doing nothing.
