Conditions

Nasolabial Folds

Keywords

Moderate to severe wrinkles and folds such as nasolabial folds

Brief summary

To assess pain during nasolabial fold treatment using Radiesse® Injectable Dermal Filler mixed with lidocaine.

Detailed description

To assess pain immediately after nasolabial fold treatment with Radiesse® Injectable Dermal Filler mixed with lidocaine in one nasolabial fold compared to Radiesse® Injectable Dermal Filler without lidocaine in the contralateral nasolabial fold.
