- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Primary efficacy endpoint of this clinical investigation is the product’s efficacy measured by the positive volume augmentation. This is represented for UCderm Fine, UCderm Impression, UCderm Lift in a reduction of at least one point on the Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS) from baseline to three months and respectively, for UCderm Volume in an augmentation of at least one point on the Lip Fulness Grading Scale (LFGS) from baseline to three months.
