Can a new filler smooth smile lines as well as the leading one?
NCT ID NCT07794878
First seen Aug 31, 2026 · Last updated Sep 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether NOA LIFT, a hyaluronic acid filler, safely corrects moderate to severe nasolabial folds (smile lines) compared to JUVÉDERM VOLIFT with lidocaine. About 288 adults with similar folds on both sides of the nose will receive injections of one filler or the other. Researchers will check improvement using a standard severity scale and track side effects over 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- NOA LIFT, a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler injected into the deep dermis
- What this could lead to
- If it works, NOA LIFT could offer a new option for smoothing moderate to severe nasolabial folds, with effects lasting up to a year.
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase 3 trial, so earlier data may not predict real-world results. Risks include injection-site reactions, bruising, or uneven correction, and the filler may not match JUVÉDERM's effectiveness.
