| Primary | Assessment of Treatment Site Responses Post Procedure | The primary endpoint of this study is to assess treatment site responses and adverse events through 6 months post procedure. | 6 months | Yes |
| Secondary | Number of Participants With a Decrease in the Wrinkle Severity Scale for Nasolabial Folds | For this study, a decrease (at least one point) in the rating, relative to pre-treatment rating, when assessed by Investigators at the 1-Month, 3-Month, and 6-Month visits was considered clinically significant (P value less than 0.05). WSS: (0) - No wrinkle - Just perceptible wrinkle - Shallow wrinkle - Moderately deep wrinkle - Deep wrinkle, well-defined edges - Very deep wrinkle, redundant fold |
6 months | No |
| Secondary | Percentage of Participants That Were Satisfied With the Treatment as Rated by GAIS | This was measured using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS). With the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS Scale) results of 1, 2 and 3 at 6 months were considered satisfied in this study. | 6 months | No |
