These results demonstrate that Restylane Volyme can provide effective, natural-looking correction with high levels of patient satisfaction and a robust safety profile. As demand for individualized aesthetic treatments continues to grow in China, expanding the range of evidence-based solutions available will be increasingly important.”STUDY PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR, DIRECTOR & CHIEF OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PLASTIC SURGERY, BEIJING HOSPITAL, CHINAIn this randomized, evaluator-blinded study, 162 adults were recruited across six sites in China and were split 2:1 into two groups; the Restylane Volyme treatment group or the no treatment control group.1 Results showed that for patients in the Restylane Volyme group:Strong effectiveness 94.4% of patients demonstrated at least 1-grade improvement in temple hollowing, from baseline, in both temples at Month 6 after last treatment, compared to just 2.0% in the control group at Month 6 after baseline.1Blinded-evaluator Galderma Temple Volume Deficit Scale responder rates remained high through Month 12191.3% of patients showed improvement on the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale for both temples through Month 12, according to the treating investigator1High satisfaction Patient satisfaction was high at Month 3 and remained consistently high, with more than 84% of patients satisfied with both the natural look and natural feel of their temples through Month 121More than 90% said they would recommend the treatment to a friend, and over 86% would have the treatment again1Half of the participants felt comfortable returning to social engagement within 24 hours after initial treatment1Robust safety Restylane Volyme was generally well tolerated, with no treatment-related serious adverse events and no granulomas1“These positive topline results further strengthen the clinical evidence supporting Restylane Volyme and mark an important step in our strategy to expand the Restylane portfolio in China. As one of the world’s fastest-growing aesthetics markets, China presents a significant opportunity to address evolving patient needs with science-backed, differentiated solutions.
