- Male or female subjects who are 18 years of age or older with an interest in the effacement of glabellar rhytides, with or without previous Botulinum Toxin Type A exposure;
- In good physical and mental health as determined by the investigator based on medical history, physical examination, and/or clinical laboratory tests;
- Noticeable presence of the glabellar rhytides for a period of 6 months or longer;

- Capable of understanding and complying with the protocol and must have signed the informed consent document prior to performance of any study-related procedures.
You may not qualify if…
- A history of psychiatric problems that, in the investigator's opinion, is severe enough potentially to interfere with subject outcomes;
- A history of autoimmune disease, that, in the opinion of the investigator, might interfere with subject outcomes (e.g., osteoarthritis is not considered an exclusion criterion; however, subjects with dermatomyositis are not permitted to participate in this study);
- A history or presence of clinically significant cardiovascular, respiratory, hepatic/biliary, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine, or neurological disorders constituting a possible risk factor that, in the investigator's opinion, is severe enough potentially to interfere with subject outcomes;
- Inability to substantially efface glabellar lines by manually spreading skin apart;
- Eyelid ptosis;
- Myasthenia gravis or diseases of neurotransmission (from medical history);
- Current history of facial nerve paralysis;
- Concurrent dermatologic disease of the face in the glabellar area that is deemed by the investigator to make the subject an inappropriate candidate for the study;
- Recent flu-like syndrome that, in the investigator's opinion, is severe enough potentially to interfere with subject outcomes;
- Neuromuscular disorder that, in the investigator's opinion, is severe enough potentially to interfere with subject outcomes;
- Active multisystems disease that, in the investigator's opinion, might influence the outcome measures or the safety of the subject;
- Has any condition(s) that in the investigator's opinion would a) warrant exclusion from the study, or b) prevent the subject from completing the study;
- Currently receiving aminoglycoside antibiotic therapy, curare-like drugs, quinidine, succinylcholine, polymyxins, anticholinesterases, magnesium sulfate, or lincosamides;
- Has taken any investigational drug during the 30 days prior to screening visit;
- Have had dermal filler treatment to glabellar area during the 6 months prior to screening visit;
- Female subjects who are pregnant or lactating. Female subjects who are of childbearing potential must have negative urine pregnancy test results prior to enrollment into the study.
