Popis: Objectives To assess the effectiveness and safety of small gel particle hyaluronic acid (SGP-HA) for lip augmentation. Methods Adults (n = 180; aged 18–65) scoring 1 (very thin) to 2 (thin) on the 5-point validated Medicis Lip Fullness Scale (MLFS) for the upper or lower lip were randomized (3:1) to SGP-HA (≤1.5 mL/lip) or no treatment. Co-primary effectiveness end points were blinded-evaluator MLFS score for upper or lower lip at week 8. Secondary end points (MLFS score, independent photographic review, Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale [GAIS], safety assessments) were measured throughout the study. Results Statistically significantly more MLFS responders (≥1 grades of MLFS improvement at week 8) received SGP-HA (93% combined upper and lower lip responders [95% upper lip; 94% lower lip]) than no treatment (29% combined; p
