Hybrid Biostimulator and Hyaluronic Acid Injectable for Tear Trough Rejuvenation.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeNon-surgical correction of the under eye region is challenging due to various reasons. Our study evaluates a novel biostimulator poly-D,L-lactic acid-hyaluronic acid (PDLLA-HA) 50mg (Juvelook, VAIM Inc., Seoul, Republic of Korea), a poly-D,L-lactic acid product as a potential injectable for tear trough correction.
methodsThis is a prospective cohort study evaluating patients who underwent three injections of PDLLA-HA for correction of the tear trough and under eye region. Outcome measures included: Perceived improvement by investigators and patients using a 5-grade Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS), skin features assessment by investigators using a 5-point subjective scale based on four criteria (elasticity, hydration, skin quality and radiance), patient satisfaction and adverse events (if any).
resultsOur study comprised 15 females, with a mean age of 38.5 years. Tear trough grading ranged from 1 to 3, with a mean grading of 1.93. Mean PDLLA-HA used: 0.41 (RE), 0.41 (LE) at first visit; 0.45 (RE), 0.45 (LE) at second visit; and 0.45 (RE), 0.45 (LE) at third visit. Mean GAIS for tear trough for investigator improved from 2.93 to 2.2 to 2.13, and for patients from 2.73 to 1.93 to 1.8 after first treatment, second treatment and third treatment, respectively. There was significant improvement in scores for lower lid skin elasticity, hydration, quality and radiance (p<0.001, Friedman). All patients were keen to repeat the treatment when asked at the second, third and fourth visits. There were no adverse events reported.
conclusionPDLLA-HA is a potential injectable for tear trough correction as well as for improvement in under eye skin elasticity, hydration, quality and radiance.
