What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The First Visit Onset of Efficacy as Measured by Physician Assessment

    The first visit onset of efficacy as measured by physician assessment. Onset is determined by a yes/no answer to the question "Since injecting the patient, have you noticed any effect on the appearance of the patient's frown lines (lines between the eyebrows)?" at days 2, 3, 4, 7, and 14.

    Time frame: 14 Days

  2. The First Visit Onset of Efficacy as Measured by Subject Assessment

    The first visit onset of efficacy as measured by subject assessment. Onset is determined by a yes/no answer to the question "Since being injected, have you noticed any effect on the appearance of your frown lines (lines between the eyebrows)?" at days 2, 3, 4, 7, and 14.

    Time frame: 14 Days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Average Subject Assessment Score in Improvement of Appearance of Frown Lines

    Average subject assessment score in improvement of appearance of frown lines (lines between the eyebrows) as measured by a 7-point scale (1=very much improved and 7=very much worse)on a daily basis. The average scores over the 1st diary week (1-7 days) and the 2nd diary week (8-14 days) are presented.

    Time frame: 14 Days

  2. Change From Baseline in Patient Satisfaction as Measured by Facial Line Outcome (FLO) Questionnaire Score

    Change from baseline in patient satisfaction as measured by FLO questionnaire comprised of 11 items that assess subject's perceptions about specific aspects of their facial lines for the previous 7 days. Each question is scored on a 11-point scale (0=not at all, 5=somewhat, 10=very much) and the sums are converted to the total FLO score. The minimum total FLO score is 0 (worst) and the maximum total FLO score is 100 (best). The total FLO score was calculated at baseline and Day 14. A positive number change from baseline indicates an improvement.

    Time frame: Baseline, Day 14

  3. Percentage of Patients Reporting Self-Perception of Age (SPA)

    Percentage of patients reporting their SPA. SPA is measured by a questionnaire. Patients were asked to compare their facial appearance to their current age. Response options were "Looking younger", "Looking current age", and "Looking older". Results for each response are presented for Baseline and Day 14.

    Time frame: Baseline, Day 14
