| Primary | Variation of wrinkles grade of the area around the eyes | Reduction of grade of the area around the eyes corresponding to a decrease from the baseline of the Glogau's reference photographic scale clinical score where: Type 1 (No Wrinkles) Early photo-aging, mild pigment changes, minimal wrinkles, no 'age spots'; Type 2 (Wrinkles in Motion) Early to moderate photo-aging, appearance of lines only when face moves, early brown 'age spots', skin pores more prominent, early changes in skin texture; Type 3 (Wrinkles at Rest) Advanced photo-aging, prominent brown pigmentation, visible brown 'age spots', prominent and small blood vessels, wrinkles now present with face at rest; Type 4 (Only Wrinkles) Severe photoaging, wrinkles everywhere (at rest or moving) yellow-grey skin color, prior skin cancers, pre-cancerous skin changes (actinic keratosis). |
Baseline (T0), immediately after the 1st "Sunekos® 200" injection treatment (T1i), 60 days (T60). | |
| Primary | Variation of Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS) grade | Reduction of wrinkles severity corresponding to a decrease from the baseline of the Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS) clinical score where: Grade 1 (absent): no visible nasolabial fold; continuous skin line. Grade 2 (mild): shallow but visible nasolabial fold with a slight indentation; minor facial feature. Grade 3 (moderate): moderately deep nasolabial folds; clear facial feature visible at normal appearance but not when stretched. Grade 4 (severe): very long and deep nasolabial folds; prominent facial feature; <2mm visible fold when stretched. Grade 5 (very severe): extremely deep and long nasolabial fold, detrimental to facial appearance; 2-4 mm visible V-shaped fold when stretched. |
Baseline (T0), immediately after the 1st "Sunekos® 200" injection treatment (T1i), 60 days (T60). | |
| Primary | Variation of Facial Volume Loss Scale (FVLS) grade | Reduction of face volume loss corresponding to a decrease from the baseline of the Facial Volume Loss Scale (FVLS) where: Grade 1 Mild flattening or shadowing of one or more facial regions (including the cheek, temple, preauricolar and periorbital areas). No prominent bony landmarks. No visibility of underlying musculature. Grade 2 An intermediate point between grade 1 and grade 3. Grade 3 Moderate concavity of one or more facial regions (including the cheek, temple, preauricolar and periorbital areas. Prominence of bony landmarks. May have visibility of underlying musculature. Grade 4 An intermediate point between grade 3 and grade 5. Grade 5 Severe indentation of one or more facial regions (including the cheek, temple, preauricolar and periorbital areas). Severe prominence of bony landmarks. Clear visibility of underlying musculature |
