What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Responder Rate Based on the Blinded Evaluator's Live Assessment of the Galderma Cheek Wrinkles Scale (GCWS) at Rest

    Responder rate was defined as the percentage of participants with at least a 1-grade improvement from baseline on the GCWS, on both sides of the face, concurrently. GCWS is a validated 5-point scale used to assess the severity of cheek wrinkles on as scale of 0 to 4. Higher score means more severe (worse) wrinkles. The participant was to have a relaxed face during the assessment.

    Measured: At Months 19, 21 and 24 (4 weeks is defined as one month in the study / study follow up windows for certain visits were +/- 2 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (19)
  1. Responder Rate Based on the Blinded Evaluator's Live Assessment of the GCWS Dynamic

    Responder rate was defined as the percentage of participants with at least a 1-grade improvement from baseline on the GCWS, on both sides of the face, concurrently. GCWS is a validated 5-point scale used to assess the severity of cheek wrinkles on a scale of 0 to 4. Higher score means more severe (worse) wrinkles. The participant was to have a closed maximum smile during the assessment.

  2. Percentage of Participants With At Least "Improved" on the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) Based on the Participants Live Assessment

    GAIS responder rates are based on independent assessments by the participant. Responder rate was defined as the percentage of participants with at least "Improved" when compared to baseline before first treatment.

    GAIS responder rates are based on independent assessments by the investigator. Responder rate was defined as the percentage of participants with at least "Improved" when compared to baseline before first treatment.
