Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to primarily evaluate the performance of KIO017 in filling/volumizing after injection in different areas in healthy women or men, older than 18 years and seeking an improvement of her/his face aspect with resorbable filler. The main questions it aims to answer are: If the products are safe \- Acceptable local tolerance, with acceptable clinical signs after injection. If the clinical performance is as intended compared to baseline * Evaluation of performance by assessing the improvement of the appearance of the defect to be corrected by using Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) * Quantification of the improvement using the appropriate scale when available or other appropriates tool (angle for chin, for instance). * Pain felt during injection and after injection * Subject satisfaction

DEVICEKIO017-2

Subcutaneous injections in temples and/or nasolabial folds and/or marionette lines and/or mid-face. One (1) injection session on D0 and one (1) touch-up session on M1. The total volume injected per face and per session will not exceed 8 ml.
