NCT ID NCT05747690
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
KIO015 (a carboxymethyl chitosan-based biomaterial injected into the skin)
What this could lead to
If successful, KIO015 could become a new option for improving skin hydration and reducing signs of aging without surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with no control group for the whole face. The main outcome is subjective (doctor's rating), and results may not apply to everyone.
