Brief summary
Prospective, single center study, on healthy subjects to evaluate the aesthetic improvement of facial volume, effect on the restoration and/or augmentation in subjects with mid-face age-related volume deficit after injection of a filler with lidocaine.
Detailed description
Prospective, non comparative, single center study, on healthy female subjects. The scope is to evaluate the performance and safety of a dermal filler (definisse core filler plus lidocaine) to evaluate the aesthetic improvement of facial volume, effect on the restoration and/or augmentation in subjects with mid-face age-related volume deficit after injection of a filler with lidocaine.
Interventions
DEVICEDEFINISSE CORE FILLER
DEFINISSE CORE FILLER volume will be injected between 4.0 of 5.0 ml on the whole face (at the discretion of the treating physician to achieve an optimal aesthetic result). A touch-up will be possible at the first follow-up visit (after one month) with a amount of product between 4.0 and 5.0 ml on the whole face
