NCT07280637

Brief Summary

This randomized clinical trial aims to compare two application techniques-needling (intradermal needling) and microneedling-for the delivery of an active-ingredient formulation containing 0.2% polynucleotides (PDRN), 2% hyaluronic acid, and 0.1% niacinamide for the treatment of periocular wrinkles related to aging.
