Wrinkle-Free wonder? small study tests microtox for skin smoothness
NCT ID NCT06604832
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed Phase 1 trial tested whether injecting a botulinum toxin (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs, also known as Jeuveau) into the forehead can improve facial skin quality, fine wrinkles, and texture. Twenty women with mild to moderate wrinkles received the treatment on one side of their face and either a placebo or a different toxin on the other side. Doctors rated skin changes using a scientific scale and an aesthetic improvement scale over 12 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PrabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs (Jeuveau)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a cosmetic treatment for fine wrinkles and skin texture improvement.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-phase trial with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The study is also completed, so no further development is planned.
