Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change From Baseline in Skin Hydration as Measured by MoistureMeterD® 0.5 mm	Skin hydration was measured using MoistureMeterD® XS (for epidermis and dermis), a non-invasive probe which measures the dielectric constant of the skin at a depth of 0.5 mm. 5 measurements were done on the same zone and the average value was calculated, expressed as tissue dielectric constant (TDC). The TDC is directly proportional to the amount of water in the tissue. A positive change from Baseline indicates better skin hydration. Values were obtained from a mixed analysis of variance (ANOVA) model. The data is presented for area treated with Juvéderm® VOLITE and non-treated area in the same participants.	Baseline [Day 0 (D0)] to Days 28 (D28) and 84 (D84)
Primary	Change From Baseline in Skin Hydration as Measured by MoistureMeter D® 1.5 mm	Skin hydration was measured using MoistureMeter D® S15 (for epidermis and dermis), a non-invasive probe which measures the dielectric constant of the skin at a depth of 1.5 mm. 5 measurements were done on the same zone and the average value was calculated, expressed as TDC. The TDC is directly proportional to the amount of water in the tissue. A positive change from Baseline indicates better skin hydration. Values were obtained from a mixed ANOVA model. The data is presented for area treated with Juvéderm® VOLITE and non-treated area in the same participants.	Baseline (D0) to D28 and D84
Primary	Change From Baseline in Skin Hydration as Measured by Corneometer®	Corneometer® measures the hydration level of the superficial skin surface (epidermis). The measurement is based on capacitance measurement of a dielectric medium in this case skin. It uses fringing field capacitance sensors to measure the dielectric constant of the skin. The dielectric constant of skin will change with water content. This allows for any changes in skin hydration to be measured by the precision measuring capacitor. These changes in water content of the stratum corneum are converted into arbitrary units of hydration. 5 measurements were done on the same zone and average value was calculated. Values were obtained from a mixed ANOVA model and expressed in arbitrary units. A positive change from Baseline indicates better skin hydration rate. The data is presented for area treated with Juvéderm® VOLITE and non-treated area in the same participants.	Baseline (D0) to D28 and D84
