Percentage of Participants With a ≥ 1 Point Improvement From Baseline in the Subject's Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) at Week 4 (time frame: Baseline, Week 4). The study lists 15 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01029535, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
