Highlights
Hyaluronic acid (HA) filler treatment is used to add volume to thin lips or restore volume and contour after age-related volume loss
The safety and effectiveness of 2 HA dermal fillers for lip augmentation were previously assessed in 2 pivotal studies.[5,6]
Both studies enrolled subjects of all Fitzpatrick skin types, including those with skin of color (Fitzpatrick skin types IV, V, or VI). The objective of this analysis was to examine the effectiveness and safety of HA fillers for lip and perioral treatment in subjects with Fitzpatrick skin types IV, V, or VI using data pooled from 2 pivotal clinical trials
Summary
The number of surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures performed in the United States increased by more than 25% between 2010 and 2015. The share of procedures performed in people with skin of color rose from 19% to 25%1,2. Individuals with skin of color request lip enhancement treatments, often to restore lip volume lost through aging,[3,4] as well as, in our experience, to further enlarge lips. There are minimal effectiveness or safety data for individuals with skin of color. The safety and effectiveness of 2 HA dermal fillers for lip augmentation were previously assessed in 2 pivotal studies.[5,6] Both studies enrolled subjects of all Fitzpatrick skin types, including those with skin of color (Fitzpatrick skin types IV, V, or VI). The objective of this analysis was to examine the effectiveness and safety of HA fillers for lip and perioral treatment in subjects with Fitzpatrick skin types IV, V, or VI using data pooled from 2 pivotal clinical trials
