Intense Lips, Geneva, Switzerland) was used for lip correction using the developed "Latin Lips" technique.The Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale was used to assess the effects of the treatments (SGAIS, PGAIS), subject satisfaction scale and Lips Fullness Scale.Adverse events were monitored as well.Results: All subjects tolerated the procedure well, and there were no adverse events reported.The mean scores reported in the study were rated at "very much improved" and "much improved" at 93% (SGAIS) and 91% (PGAIS), as well as subject satisfaction at 93%, indicating significant improvement after the treatment.The dermal filler used showed a high degree of biointegration, with excellent volume and lifting capacity in all subjects, and the investigator reported a very interesting relationship between the amount of product used and the effect achieved.
