Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Treatment Difference in Pain as Measured by a Visual Analogue ScaleAfter Injection on Day of Treatment

No pain is noted at 0 mm and worst pain is noted at 100 mm.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Wrinkle Improvement at Day 1414 days after treatment when compared to baseline

This measure was performed by the validated GAIS tool (Global Asthetic Improvement Scale). The GAIS was completed by the participant at day 14. The GAIS is a qualitative 5 point scale evaluating Aesthetic Improvement (0=worse, 1=no change, 2=Improved, 3=Much Improved, 4=very much improved). Treatment success is defined as at least a one grade improvement (2, 3, or 4) from pre-treatment.
