Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Aesthetic Improvement is measured using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) evaluated by an independent live assessor 3 months after treatment (M3) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Aesthetic improvement is measured using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) evaluated by a live assessor 1 month (M1), 6 (M6) and 9 months (M9) after treatment 2. Aesthetic improvement is measured using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) evaluated by the subjects at M1, M3, M6 and M9 3. Improvement of treated areas is measured using Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS) and/or Marionette Lines Grading Scale (MLGS) scale evaluated by an independent live assessor at baseline, M1, M3, M6 and M9 4. Improvement of treated areas is measured using WSRS and/or MLGS scale evaluated by a blinded assessor on photographs at baseline, M1, M3, M6 and M9 5. Subject satisfaction is measured using an internal questionnaire at baseline, M1, M3, M6 and M9 6. Injector satisfaction is measured using an internal questionnaire after injection at D0 and M1 7. Procedural pain is measured using a 0 to 10 points pain scale at D0 and M1 after injection 8. Safety is measured using injection site reactions (ISR) rated by a live assessor and by the subjects and by collection of adverse events after treatment, at M1, M3, M6 and M9 | — |
