Menopausal Women's skin changes under microscope in new study
NCT ID NCT07342400
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how a treatment called poly L-lactic acid (PLLA) changes proteins in the skin of menopausal women with cheek wrinkles. About 40 women will receive the treatment, and small skin samples will be taken to measure these changes. The goal is to understand how the treatment works at a cellular level, not to test if it cures or controls a disease.
