Profile HIT (Holistic Individualized Treatment))

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The Holistic Individualized Treatment (HIT) approach is used to identify treatment priorities, focus areas, and appropriate products for soft tissue filler treatments. The Profile HIT considers the balance between the midface, nose, lips, and chin to improve a patient's appearance. This trial will assess the effectiveness of the Profile HIT algorithm in treating patients with different profile issues (e.g. nasal deformities, volume loss, chin retrusion).

Design Details

Primary Purpose: Other
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Interventional Model Description: This study will consist of an open-label, prospective, cohort trial design. Eighteen subjects will be recruited. Subjects will be recruited based on their primary deficit, where all subjects must have a mild or greater deficit of the midface and each of three subsets of 6 subjects will have a primary deficit/deformity of the nose, lips, and chin. All subjects will receive active treatment with hyaluronic acid at Baseline, with an optional touch at week two. There will be no placebo or no-treatment control groups. Subjects will be followed for five months.
Masking: None (Open Label)
