  • Subjects requiring treatment in two to four of pre-defined areas in the face (upper cheeks, nasolabial folds, temples, nose and chin)
  • Require 3-5 ml of investigational products to achieve a clinically meaningful improvement in appearance
  • Facial appearance as Han Chinese
  • Non-pregnant, non-breast feeding female
  • Signed informed consent

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous facial surgery (e.g. rhinoplasty) or permanent implant in the area to be treated.
  • History of chronic sinusitis or rhinitis (only applicable for subjects injected in the nose).
  • Subjects who needs to use heavy glasses during the study (only applicable for subjects injected in the nose).
  • Previous tissue augmenting therapy or contouring with permanent filler or fat injection in the facial area.
  • Previous treatment with Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers or Restylane Skinboosters in the facial area within 12 months before treatment.
  • Previous treatment with non-HA fillers such as CaHA (Calcium Hydroxylapatite) or PLLA (Poly L-Lactic Acid) within 24 months before treatment.
  • Previous revitalization with neurotoxin in the facial area within six (6) months before treatment.
  • Previous tissue revitalization treatment with laser or light, mesotherapy, chemical peeling or dermabrasion in the facial area within six (6) months before treatment.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants Improved in "Global Facial Aesthetic Appearance" - Judged by Participant

    Number of improved participants according to Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) 6 months after initial treatment. The GAIS is a qualitative 5-graded scale evaluating aesthetic improvement: Very much improved, Much improved, Improved, No change, Worse. A participant is considered "improved" if she answers Very much improved, Much improved, or Improved.

    Time frame: 6 Months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants Improved in Nasolabial Fold Severity (Merz Aesthetic Scale) - Judged by Investigator

    The Merz aesthetic scale for nasolabial folds (NLFs) is a validated photograph-based outcome instrument designed specifically for assessment of NLFs. The scale is graded 0-4 where 0 is "No folds" and 4 is "Very severe folds". A participant is considered improved if she scores at least one grade improvement from baseline.

    Time frame: 6 and 12 Months after first and second treatment, respectively

  2. Percentage of Participants Improved in Upper Cheek Fullness - Judged by Investigator

    The Merz aesthetic scale for upper cheek fullness is a validated photograph-based outcome instrument designed specifically for assessing cheek fullness. The scale is graded 0-4 where 0 is "Full upper cheek" and 4 is "Very severely sunken upper cheek". A participant is assessed as improved if she scores at least one grade improvement from baseline.

    Time frame: 6 and 12 Months after first and second treatment, respectively
