What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With at Least a 1-Point Improvement (Decrease) in Both Temples as Assessed by the Evaluating Investigator Using the Allergan Temple Hollowing Scale (ATHS)

    The Evaluating Investigator will assess the participant's temple hollowing using the ATHS 5-point scale where: 0=convex, rounded temple to 4=severe, deeply recessed, sunken appearance. A 1-point decrease from Baseline indicates improvement.

    Time frame: Change from Baseline to Month 3

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants "Improved" or "Much Improved" as Assessed by the Evaluating Investigator Using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS)

    The Evaluating Investigator will assess the participant's temple area using the GAIS 5-point scale where: 2=much improved, 1=improved, 0=no change, -1=worse and -2=much worse. The percentage of participants who the Evaluating Investigator assesses as 2=much improved or 1=improved will be reported.

    Time frame: Month 3

  2. Percentage of Participants "Improved" or "Much Improved" as Assessed by the Participant Using the GAIS

    The participant will assess their temple area using the GAIS 5-point scale where: 2=much improved, 1=improved, 0=no change, -1=worse and -2=much worse. The percentage of participants who assess themselves as 2=much improved or 1=improved will be reported.

    Time frame: Month 3
