Clinical Study to Evaluate Safety and Effectiveness of Noble Lift® Lifting Threads

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at the safety and effectiveness of two types of lifting threads, called Noble Lift® PDO sutures, used for cosmetic treatments. The study will compare how well these threads work for lifting different parts of the face, such as the upper face (like the eyebrows) and the mid to lower face. Researchers will assess how well the treatments improve appearance over a year, using patient feedback, photographs, and specific scales to measure changes.

To participate in this trial, you should be between 18.5 to 30 BMI, have dense skin that isn’t too thin, and need a lifting treatment for your upper or mid/lower face. However, certain conditions might disqualify you, such as being pregnant, having severe health issues, or recent facial procedures. If you join, you can expect to have the threads placed in a specific area and will be monitored for both safety and how much you like the results over the next year. This study is not yet recruiting participants, so there’s still time to consider if you meet the criteria and are interested in taking part.
