- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS) grade variation Baseline (T0), 3-4 weeks after the 1st injection procedure (T1),2 months after the 1st injection procedure (T2),3 months after the 1st injection procedure (T3),6 months after the 1st injection procedure (T4),9 months after the 1st injection procedure(T5) Reduction of wrinkles severity corresponding to a decrease from the baseline of the Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS) clinical score where:
* Grade 1 (absent): no visible nasolabial fold; continuous skin line.
* Grade 2 (mild): shallow but visible nasolabial fold with a slight indentation; minor facial feature.
* Grade 3 (moderate): moderately deep nasolabial folds; clear facial feature visible at normal appearance but not when stretched.
* Grade 4 (severe): very long and deep nasolabial folds; prominent facial feature; \<2mm visible fold when stretched.
* Grade 5 (very severe): extremely deep and long nasolabial fold, detrimental to facial appearance; 2-4 mm visible V-shaped fold when stretched.Facial Volume Loss Scale (FVLS) grade variation Baseline (T0), 3-4 weeks after the 1st injection procedure (T1),2 months after the 1st injection procedure (T2),3 months after the 1st injection procedure (T3),6 months after the 1st injection procedure (T4),9 months after the 1st injection procedure(T5) Reduction of face volume loss corresponding to a decrease from the baseline of the Facial Volume Loss Scale (FVLS) where:
* Grade 1: Mild flattening or shadowing of one or more facial regions (including the cheek, temple, preauricolar and periorbital areas). No prominent bony landmarks. No visibility of underlying musculature.
* Grade 2: An intermediate point between grade 1 and grade 3.
* Grade 3: Moderate concavity of one or more facial regions (including the cheek, temple, preauricolar and periorbital areas. Prominence of bony landmarks. May have visibility of underlying musculature.
* Grade 4: An intermediate point between grade 3 and grade 5.
* Grade 5: Severe indentation of one or more facial regions (including the cheek, temple, preauricolar and periorbital areas). Severe prominence of bony landmarks. Clear visibility of underlying musculature.
