MeasureTime frameDescription
Volume of midface and lower face with Definisse threads double needle and Definisse threads free floating insertion at day 30up to 30 days of treatmentThe primary objective of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the reshaping effect of the face with Definisse™ thread double needle and Definisse™ thread free floating insertion, at Day 30, through 3D photos and 2D photos, through VECTRA®H2

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
To evaluate the modification of skin surface characteristics at 30 days, 4 months, 8 months and 12 monts from baselineup to 30 days, 4 months, 8 months and 12 monts of tratmentModification of skin surface characteristics in terms of wrinkles, pores and texture, that will be evaluated and quantified at day 30d, 4 months, 8 months, 12 months from baseline through ANTERA 3D.
to evaluate the subject's satisfaction at each visit (1 day, 15 days, 30 days, 4 months, 8 months and 12 monts)up to 1 day, 15 days, 30 days, 4 months, 8 monts and 12 months of treatmentSubject's satisfaction self-assessment on the reshaping effect according to the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS: 5-item scale, where 1 = exceptional improvement, 2 = very improved, 3 = improved, 4 = unaltered, 5 = worsened.) at each visit (1 day, 15 days, 30 days, 4 months, 8 months and 12 monts).
To assess the clinical evaluation of reshaping effect of the total, middle and lower face comparing baseline to T15d, T30d, T4m, T8m, T12m by the non-treating investigatorsup to 15 days, 30 days, 4 months,8 months, 12 months of treatmentAesthetic changes of the total, middle and lower face according to the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS: 5-item scale, where 1 = exceptional improvement, 2 = very improved, 3 = improved, 4 = unaltered, 5 = worsened) by the non-treating investigators (one plastic surgeon and one dermatologist) as clinical evaluation of reshaping effect, comparing baseline to T15d, T30d, T4m, T8m, T12m, by evaluating the 2D photos collected by VECTRA®H2
reshaping effect between baseline and T15d, T4m, T8m, T12m.up to 15 days, 4 months, 8 months and 12 monts of tratmentTo evaluate the reshaping effect of the face with Definisse™ threads between baseline and day 15, 4 months, 8 months, 12 months with GAIS (Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale; 5-item scale, where 1 = exceptional improvement, 2 = very improved, 3 = improved, 4 = unaltered, 5 = worsened.))
To evaluate the global pain perception during the implant procedure at T1d and T15d.up to 1 and 15 days of treatmentGlobal pain perception during the implant procedure at 1 day and at the first follow-up visit (15 days) by a numeric pain scale (NRS: from 0 (No pain) to 10 (worst possible pain)).
To evaluate the subject's self-esteem at each visit (1 day, 15 days, 30 days, 4 months, 8 months and 12 monts) T30d, T4m, T8m, T12m).up to 1 day, 15 ddays, 30 days, 4 months, 8 month, 12 months of treatmentSubject's self-esteem by the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale at each visit ( This scale is a widely used self-report instrument for evaluating individual self-esteem.
