Inclusion criteria

* Moderate or severe infraorbital hollows with no more than one grade difference between the left and right side at baseline as assessed by the blinded evaluator. * Males or non-pregnant, non-breastfeeding females, over the age of 21. * Intent to undergo correction of both orbital hollows.

Exclusion criteria

* Known/previous allergy or hypersensitivity to any injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) gel or to gram positive bacterial proteins. * Known/previous allergy or hypersensitivity to local anesthetics, e.g. lidocaine or other amide-type anesthetics. * Previous deep and/or superficial facial dermal therapies. * Active or a history of recurrent or chronic infraorbital edema or rosacea or uncontrolled severe seasonal allergies.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Responder Rate Based on the Blinded Evaluator's Live Assessment of the Galderma Infraorbital Hollows Scale (GIHS)At 3 months after BaselineResponder rate was defined as the percentage of participants with at least a 1-point improvement from baseline on the Galderma Infraorbital Hollows Scale (GIHS), on both sides of the face, concurrently. GIHS is a validated 4-point scale used to assess Infraorbital Hollows: 0 (none \[hollowness\]), 1 (mild \[hollowness\]), 2 (moderate \[hollowness\]), 3 (severe \[hollowness\]). Higher score means more severe (worse) hollowness in the infraorbital Hollows.

The 7-graded GAIS was used by the participant to live assess the aesthetic improvement of the infraorbital hollows by responding to the question: How would you describe the aesthetic improvement of your tear troughs today compared to the photograph taken before treatment? by using the respective categorical scale as follows; Very Much Improved, Much Improved, Improved, No Change, Worse, Much Worse, Very Much Worse.

Outcome results

Primary

Responder Rate Based on the Blinded Evaluator's Live Assessment of the Galderma Infraorbital Hollows Scale (GIHS)

Responder rate was defined as the percentage of participants with at least a 1-point improvement from baseline on the Galderma Infraorbital Hollows Scale (GIHS), on both sides of the face, concurrently. GIHS is a validated 4-point scale used to assess Infraorbital Hollows: 0 (none \[hollowness\]), 1 (mild \[hollowness\]), 2 (moderate \[hollowness\]), 3 (severe \[hollowness\]). Higher score means more severe (worse) hollowness in the infraorbital Hollows.

Time frame: At 3 months after Baseline

Population: The modified intention-to-treat (mITT) population included all participants who were randomized and analyzed according to the randomization scheme and who did not have a GIHS Month 3 visit assessment conducted remotely (i.e., remote study visit and/or GIHS assessment performed remotely).
