• History of keloid formation or hypertrophic scars.
• Use of isotretinoin within 12 months of the baseline visit.
• Use of per oral or topical (facial) substances containing retinoids, bensoyl peroxide, alpha-hydroxy acid at a concentration above 10% or beta-hydroxy acid at a concentration above 2% or antibiotics within four months of the baseline visit.
• Concomitant anticoagulant therapy and therapy with inhibitors of platelet aggregation (e.g. aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs]), Omega-3 or vitamin E seven days before the injection, or a history of bleeding disorders.
• Use of anti-inflammatory agents seven days before the injection.
• History of radiation or skin tumours including actinic keratosis in the face.
• Active skin disease, inflammation or related conditions, such as infection, perioral dermatitis, seborrheic eczema and rosacea in the face.
• History of or active collagen diseases or autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematous, rheumatic arthritis, skin or systemic sclerosis.
• Previous hypersensitivity to HA.
• Previous hypersensitivity to lidocaine or other amide-type anaesthetics.
• Concomitant treatment with chemotherapy, immunosuppressive agents, immunomodulatory therapy (e.g. monoclonal antibodies), systemic or topical (facial) corticosteroids within 3 months of the baseline visit. (Inhaled corticoids are not an exclusion criterion).
• Presence of facial hair that may interfere with efficacy evaluations.
• Previous tissue augmenting therapy or revitalization treatment in the treatment area with HA or collagen, within 12 months of the baseline visit.
• Permanent implant or treatment with fillers based on other material than HA or collagen in the treatment area.
• Laser, e.g. carbon dioxide and Fraxel, dermabrasion or facial light therapy, e.g. IPL, in the treatment area within 12 months of the baseline visit.
• Chemical peeling in the treatment area within 6 months of the baseline visit.
• Previous surgery in the treatment area.
• Nicotine use within 6 months before the baseline visit.
• Pregnancy or breast feeding.
• Participation in any other clinical study within 30 days before inclusion.
• Any medical condition that in the opinion of the investigator makes the subject unsuitable for inclusion (e.g. severe chronic disease, epilepsy, impaired cardiac conduction, severely impaired hepatic function or severe renal dysfunction).
• Other condition preventing the subject from entering the study in the investigator's opinion, e.g. subjects not likely to avoid other facial cosmetic treatments, subjects anticipated to be unreliable or incapable of understanding the study assessment or unrealistic expectations of treatment result.
• Study staff or close relative of study staff (e.g. parents, children, siblings and spouse).

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Evaluation of Acne Scarring and the Surrounding Skin Using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale	Percentage of improved subjects at 36 weeks after first treatment session assessed using Subject GAIS. Scale range is Worse, No Change, Somewhat Improved, Much Improved and Very Much Improved. Alternatives Somewhat Improved to Very Much Improved are considered an improvement, i.e. a better outcome.	36 weeks
Secondary	Evaluation of Skin Quality and Overall Satisfaction Using a Subject Satisfaction Questionnaire	Percentage of subjects satisfied with the overall appearance of the face at 36 weeks after first treatment session. Scale range is Very dissatisfied, Somewhat dissatisfied, Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, Somewhat satisfied and Very satisfied. Alternatives Somewhat satisfied to Very satified are considered a better outcome.	36 weeks
Secondary	Evaluation of Acne Scarring Using the Scale for Acne Scar Severity (SCAR-S)	Percentage of subjects improved at 36 weeks after first treatment session assessed using SCAR-S. Scale range is Very severe, Severe, Moderate, Mild, Almost clear and Clear. The alternative Clear is considered the best outcome. Improvement is considered to be at least one step improvement on the scale toward the alternative Clear.	36 weeks
Secondary	Assessment of Local Tolerability After Treatment	Number of subjects reporting anticipated injection-related reactions after treatment	14 days
Secondary	Adverse Event Reporting During the Study	Number of subjects reporting at least one adverse event (assessed as unrelated or related to treatment)	36 weeks
