BACKGROUND: Injections of hyaluronic acid (HA) for tissue augmentation are one of the most common aesthetic treatments performed worldwide. However, few studies have compared the safety and efficacy of small- and large-particle HA (SP-HA; LP-HA).

AIM: To assess and compare the safety and efficacy of SP-HA and LP-HA for the correction of nasolabial folds (NLFs).

METHODS: A prospective, split-face, triple-blind study design was used. Ten female subjects were recruited. Patients underwent treatment at baseline, an optional touch up at Week 2, and a follow-up visit at Week 4. At weeks 2 and 4, a blinded reviewer assessed the patients using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) and Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS); and subjects completed the Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ). At all visits, 3-dimensional imagery and ultrasonography of patients' NLFs were captured. Adverse events (AEs) were evaluated by the Investigator and recorded by subjects in diaries.

RESULTS: The GAIS response rate, defined as ≥ "improved" from baseline, was between 90 (2 weeks) and 100% (1 month) for SP-HA and was 100% for LP-HA, at both visits. Paired-samples t tests revealed significant differences in the change in WSRS scores between groups, at both visits (P < .01). Differences in the clinical effect and lifting capacity of both products were observed in 3-dimensional imagery and ultrasonography. Treatment volumes varied, with 61.32% more SP-HA being required than LP-HA for achieving a ≥ one-grade WSRS improvement. There were no severe AEs throughout the trial, nor AEs related to the investigational device.

CONCLUSIONS: LP-HA demonstrates better efficacy for correcting bony resorption in the nasal pyriform region.
