ALLERGAN
Ergonomic syringe development to enable doctors to perform procedures to enhance beauty and maintain youth.
What We Did
RKS worked with Allergan to develop an ergonomic branded syringe offering for their Juvederm line of fillers. This new offering enabled doctors to provide the best quality treatment to their patients and further refine their techniques by providing a US Ergo Human Factors certified solution that enhanced usability. The design development included a global research effort across North America, Germany, and Korea. RKS utilized its Psycho-Aesthetics Methodology to understand key pain-points with the current off-the-shelf syringes, evaluate how procedure techniques varied based on the country regulations, and test ergonomic prototypes to identify the optimal design for market launch.
Psycho-Aesthetics™
Product design is more than just winning awards; it’s about creating emotional connections between the product and the user. Our human-centered approach, Psycho-Aesthetics, helps us understand and quantify these connections. With Psycho-Aesthetics as our foundation, we work with clients to establish a common language that can be used throughout our relationship. The Opportunity Zone for Allergan was found to be in the enriched quadrant. Providing doctors with higher levels of interactivity to ensure clients the best care possible.
We understand the critical role that research and strategy play in developing innovative and effective solutions. When partnering with Allergan, our goal was to create an ergonomic branded syringe offering for their Juvederm line of fillers.

Our approach involved a global research effort, to gain insights into user preferences, market trends, and regulatory considerations. Our commitment to research and strategy drives our ability to deliver transformative solutions.
Through our Psycho Aesthetics Process, we synthesized the research findings and mapped out the key attractors and pain-points, enabling us to identify the crucial elements that would enhance usability and patient experience. We combined our expertise in industrial design and human factors to develop ergonomic prototypes that underwent rigorous testing. This meticulous approach allowed us to identify the optimal design for market launch, empowering doctors to provide the best quality treatment to their patients and refine their techniques.
We excelled in the design and development of this product because of our unwavering commitment to excellence and our unique approach to design development. Through a global research effort spanning North America, Germany, and Korea, we gained invaluable insights into the pain-points associated with off-the-shelf syringes and the diverse regulatory landscape of different countries. Leveraging our proprietary Psycho-Aesthetics Methodology, we meticulously analyzed research findings, evaluated procedure techniques, and rigorously tested ergonomic prototypes.
The impact of our work lies in the optimal design we have achieved for the market launch of Allergan’s Juvéderm line of fillers.
