• Evolysse^™ Sculpt met the primary endpoint of non-inferiority and demonstrated statistical superiority to Restylane^®-Lyft
• The safety profile was similar between Evolysse^™ Sculpt and Restylane^®-Lyft and no treatment-related serious adverse events
• Premarket Approval application submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; Approval expected in the second half of 2026

Evolus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EOLS), a performance beauty company with a focus on building an aesthetic portfolio of consumer brands, today announced positive topline results from a U.S. pivotal study of Evolysse^™ Sculpt, an injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) gel product designed to restore mid-face volume.

“Achieving positive topline results in our mid-face study is an important milestone for Evolus as we expand beyond Jeuveau^® with the Evolysse^™ line,” said David Moatazedi, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Evolysse^™ Sculpt, the flagship brand in the Evolysse^™ collection, targets the highest-value segment of today’s dermal filler market and is among the few products currently indicated for the mid-face area. Its strong performance reinforces our strategy to build a leading performance beauty company with a portfolio designed for today’s aesthetic consumer.”

“The Evolysse^™ Sculpt study in patients seeking cheek augmentation demonstrated high patient satisfaction and a similar safety profile to the control,” said Dr. Rui Avelar, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Head of R&D. “We are pleased to have recently submitted our Premarket Approval (PMA) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and look forward to the next phase of bringing this innovative product to patients and practitioners in the U.S.”

“As an investigator in this pivotal study, I was impressed by the durability of results and high levels of patient satisfaction achieved with Evolysse^™ Sculpt,” said Dr. Gilly Munavalli, MD, MHS. “The product handled exceptionally well during injection, delivering the lift and contouring in the mid-face we seek in daily practice. Manufactured using innovative Cold-X^™ technology, which is intended to preserve the natural structure of the HA molecule, I believe Evolysse^™ Sculpt has the potential to be a valuable option for patients seeking long-lasting, natural-looking results.”

Study Design

The U.S. mid-face pivotal study was a multicenter, double-blinded, controlled, non-inferiority design. Patients were followed for 24 months from initial treatment. A total of 304 patients were enrolled and randomized to receive Evolysse^™ Sculpt or Restylane^®-Lyft.

The 6-month primary endpoint measured the mean grade change in mid-face volume deficit from baseline and was assessed by a blinded, live evaluator using a validated 5-point photo-numeric scale.

Results

The Evolysse^™ Sculpt injectable HA gel product met its primary endpoint of non-inferiority and demonstrated statistical superiority versus Restylane^®-Lyft, with a mean mid-face volume deficit severity score difference of -0.26 (95% CI [ -0.45, -0.07]; non-inferiority margin 0.5) and corresponding p-value of <0.001. The secondary endpoint was also met, demonstrating statistical superiority against Restylane^®-Lyft at 6 months, based on the percent of cheeks demonstrating a clinically meaningful improvement, defined as ≥ 1 point improvement in mid-face volume deficit scale. The Evolysse^™ Sculpt responder rate was 90.9%, [389/428] as compared to Restylane^®-Lyft with 83.3% [110/132], and a p-value 0.015.

The safety profile was similar between Evolysse^™ Sculpt and Restylane^®-Lyft and there were no treatment-related serious adverse events

Evolus anticipates that the FDA’s review process will follow the standard PMA timeline, with approval expected in the second half of 2026. The submission, announced on August 20^th, underscores Evolus’ commitment to bringing its collection of injectable hyaluronic acid gel products to market and its readiness to meet rigorous regulatory requirements.

The Evolysse^™ Sculpt injectable HA gel product is expected to be the flagship brand in the Evolysse^™ collection. Designed by Symatese using innovative Cold-X^™ technology, it is intended to preserve the natural structure of the HA molecule for long-lasting, natural-looking results.
