BACKGROUND:VYC-12, a hyaluronic acid injectable gel, is designed to treat fine lines and provides improvements in other skin quality attributes. A prospective study demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of VYC-12 for the improvement of fine lines as measured by changes in skin texture. AIMS: To evaluate patient-reported outcomes in subjects treated intradermally with VYC-12 in the cheeks, forehead, and neck (optional) in the prospective study. METHODS: Subjects received an initial treatment of VYC-12 (N = 131), with a touch-up treatment, if deemed necessary, offered 30 days later, and optional repeat treatment 9 months after initial or touch-up treatment. Subjects completed the FACE-Q Satisfaction With Skin scale and assessed willingness to recommend treatment to a friend at baseline, months 1, 4, 6, and 9, and month 1 after repeat treatment. Subjects also evaluated their return to normal daily social activities. RESULTS:Satisfaction with skin improved from baseline in 90.8% of subjects at month 1, 88.4% at month 4, 83.6% at month 6, 76.4% at month 9, and 91.9% at month 1 after repeat treatment (P < .001, all time points). At least 94% of subjects returned to normal daily social activities one day after treatment (initial, touch-up, or repeat). More than 80% of subjects said they would recommend treatment to a friend at all time points through month 9 (97% at month 1 after repeat treatment). CONCLUSION: Treatment with VYC-12 significantly improved satisfaction with skin in the majority of subjects, with most subjects returning to normal activities 1 day after treatment.
