Brief Summary

This mono-center clinical investigation is intended to assess the safety and effectiveness of THIODERM ELATE for augmentation of very thin and thin lips in comparison with Juvéderm® Ultra 3.

Detailed Description

The Investigation is a prospective, exploratory, randomized, subject and evaluator - blinded, parallel-group, single-centre, pilot trial investigating the safety and effectiveness of THIODERM ELATE compared to Juvéderm® Ultra 3 for lip augmentation. Up to 33 eligible subjects will be included in this investigation with a 10 % estimated drop-out rate and will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to Thioderm ELATE and Juvéderm® Ultra 3, respectively, after the informed consent form (ICF) has been signed and relevant pre-treatment procedures, including medical history and pregnancy testing, as well as eligibility for inclusion have been performed. Subjects will receive injections into both, upper and lower lip using Thioderm ELATE or Juvéderm® Ultra 3 until an optimal cosmetic result is achieved. During Screening and prior to injection, the Blinded Evaluating Investigator will evaluate the lip fullness by using the 5-point Lip Fullness Scale (LFS). An optional touch-up treatment can be performed at Week 4 upon discretion of the treating investigator. The safety and effectiveness of the treatment will be evaluated after Day 1, 3 and 7 as well as at 4, 8,12, 16 and 24 weeks or an End of Study Visit using objective and subjective outcome parameters. . The same Blinded Evaluating Investigator will assess each subject at screening and at the follow-up visits.

5. Subject has a stable medical condition with no uncontrolled systemic disease.

6. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test and must agree to use a highly effective method of birth control throughout the entire study.

7. Male subjects with female partners of child-bearing potential must agree to use contraception throughout the entire study (surgical sterilization or a physical barrier such as a condom).

8. Willingness to abstain from any aesthetic or surgical procedures in the treatment area for the duration of study, including botulinum toxin injection (except glabella or forehead botulinum toxin treatment).

9. Subjects who understand the purpose and conduct of the study and having given written informed consent and are willing and able to attend the study visits as judged by the Investigator.

11. Implantation of dermal fillers in the treatment area within the preceding 24 months prior to Visit 0 (Screening) and during the entire investigation

12. Subject has received any of the following aesthetic treatments in the perioral area and or lower face third: e.g., laser therapy, absorbable and non-absorbable sutures (threads), dermabrasion, mesotherapy, micro-needling and/or botulinum toxin (including treatment of crow´s feet in the outer eye region) as well as permanent make-up at the lips within the last 12 months prior to Visit 0, chemical peeling within the last three months prior to Visit 0 or is planning to undergo such procedures during entire investigation
