Inclusion criteria

* Subjects seeking augmentation therapy for correction of bilateral NLFs * Same WSRS score at both NLFs (either both Moderate \[3\] or both Severe \[4\]) * Subjects willing to give written informed consent to participate in the study * Women of childbearing potential willing to use an acceptable form of birth control during the study period

Exclusion criteria

* Active or chronic skin disease, inflammation or related conditions, near or on the NLFs * Subjects who had undergone procedures based on active dermal response e.g., laser or chemical peeling procedures) within 6 months prior to study entry * Use of any facial tissue augmenting therapy with non-permanent filler or aesthetic facial surgical therapy within 9 months prior to study entry * Permanent implant placed in the NLF area

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Treatment Difference in Pain as Measured by a Visual Analogue ScaleAfter Injection on Day of TreatmentNo pain is noted at 0 mm and worst pain is noted at 100 mm.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Wrinkle Improvement at Day 1414 days after treatment when compared to baselineThis 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.

Outcome results

Primary

Treatment Difference in Pain as Measured by a Visual Analogue Scale

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

Time frame: After Injection on Day of Treatment

Population: This is a split-face design. Restylane and Restylane with Lidocaine was injected to different sides of the subject's face. A total of 60 subjects received both products. The study evaluated which side of the face had less pain, as measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
