Summary

This completed study tested a gel called PN20 (Plinest) injected into the skin to improve hydration and elasticity. Twenty-five adults received up to three treatments on their face, neck, or décolleté. Researchers measured skin moisture, firmness, and appearance over six months to see if the gel works and is safe.
