Expert Consensus on the Clinical Use of Skin Boosters: A Delphi-Based Recommendation Framework

Sponsor: Venus Research Center

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This consensus research project aims to develop standardized, evidence-based recommendations for the clinical use of skin boosters in aesthetic dermatology. Despite their widespread adoption for improving skin hydration, texture, and dermal quality, current practice patterns vary significantly across clinicians and regions, with limited unified guidelines. Using a structured Delphi methodology, the study will gather expert opinions from dermatologists and aesthetic medicine specialists to achieve agreement on key aspects of skin booster therapy, including indications, patient selection, injection techniques, dosing protocols, product selection, treatment intervals, expected outcomes, and safety considerations. The project seeks to establish practical, consensus-driven guidelines that can harmonize clinical practice, enhance treatment outcomes, and ensure patient safety. The final recommendations will serve as a reference framework for practitioners and contribute to the standardization of skin quality enhancement treatments.
