A Study to Determine How Long Restylane® Will Last After Initial Treatment With 2 Different Re-treatment Schedules.

Completed · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Rhytids

In brief

A total of 75 subjects will be enrolled into a 36 month study. Subjects will be treated with Restylane® on both sides of the face (nasolabial folds) at the first visit, on one side of the face at month 4.5 and on the other side of the face at month 9. Both sides of the face will then be treated again at month 18. The subjects will evaluate themselves and will also be evaluated by the treating doctor and a blinded evaluator (a person that does not know when the different sides of the face are treated). Side effects and medications taken during the study will also be recorded.
