Summary

This study tests a new injectable filler made from poly-L-lactic acid to smooth deep smile lines (nasolabial folds). About 121 adults will receive the new filler on one side of their face and an approved filler on the other side. Researchers will compare how well each side reduces wrinkle severity and track any side effects over 24 months.
