Hybrid cooperative complex treatment is associated with reduced facial pore size in a pilot study

Abstract

Abstract Enlarged facial pores are a common aesthetic concern associated with aging and reduced dermal support. Hybrid Cooperative Complex (HCC), a stabilized hyaluronic acid formulation, has been proposed to improve skin quality through bioremodeling. This prospective observational pilot study evaluated changes in facial pore size after treatment with Hybrid Cooperative Complex (HCC) using standardized photography, clinical assessment, and validated rating scales. Ten healthy adult participants received two treatment sessions according to the Bio Aesthetic Points protocol, and outcomes were assessed at baseline and on Days 30, 60, 120, and 180. Visible improvement in facial pore size and skin texture was observed after treatment. Peak pore refinement was noted at Day 120 in most participants, while partial regression was observed in many cases by Day 180, although skin quality remained improved compared with baseline. HCC may be associated with visible improvement in facial pore size and skin quality in this pilot cohort. Changes in pore morphology may represent a practical clinical marker for estimating maintenance treatment timing, although larger controlled studies are needed.
