First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new injectable gel called KIO015 in 78 healthy adults with dehydrated, aging skin. Each person received injections on one side of the face, while the other side was left untreated for comparison. The goal was to see if KIO015 improves skin hydration and overall appearance safely.
