Clinical Trial Summary

This will be a single-center, randomized, evaluator-blinded, split-face clinical study design. Fifty patients will receive one treatment session consisting of Restylane® Silk (right side of the face) and Belotero Balance® (left side), or vice versa (1:1 dose conversion ratio) injections to the superficial, vertical perioral lines. Injections will be performed at the baseline visit. To ensure subject and investigator blinding, syringes will be prepared and labeled "1" and "2" immediately before subject attendance for injection by the sub-investigator. The same injection sites and techniques will be used on both sides of the face. Then, patients will follow-up on post-treatment day 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180.

• A patient planning any other cosmetic procedure to their facial area during the study period, other than the treatments that will be performed by the investigator

• A patient using any topical (prescription or over the counter) medicated creams, lotions, gels, balms, powders, etc. on the treatment areas during the study period

• A patient receiving any topical products containing alpha-hydroxy acids, salicylic acid, and vitamins C or D (includes derivatives thereof) on the perioral areas within 7 days prior to or during the study period, other than the study products

• A patient receiving any investigational drug and/or has had a microdermabrasion (light or medium skin peel) treatment on their perioral areas within 30 days prior to or during the study period

• A patient using any topical tretinoin product or derivative on their perioral areas within 12 weeks prior to or during the study period

• A patient receiving a chemical peel, any systemic steroids, a non-ablative laser, light or radio frequency treatment and/or has had a dermabrasion (deep skin peel) or ablative laser treatments on their perioral areas must have discontinued the drug/treatment and/or had the procedure at least 6 months prior to entering the study

• A patient that has previously been treated with botulinum toxin in the perioral areas within the past six months

• A patient that has previously been treated with dermal filler in the perioral areas within the past year

• A patient that with a history of allergic reaction to a dermal filler or lidocaine

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change in Response to therapy as evaluated by investigator using 5-point Merz® Scale	Response to therapy on each side of the lip on day 0 (initial treatment), and subsequent post-treatment days 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, as measured by the blinded evaluator: A 1-point improvement from baseline in superficial, vertical, perioral rhytids based on the 5-point Merz® Scale	Day 0, 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180	No
Secondary	Response to Therapy- Subject	Response to therapy on each side of the lip on day 0 (initial treatment), and subsequent post-treatment days 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, as measured by the blinded patient: A 20% improvement from baseline in superficial, vertical, perioral rhytids using a linear analog scale	Day 0, 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180	No
Secondary	Severity grading- Evaluator	Severity grading by a blinded evaluator employing standardized photography in combination with the 5-point Merz® Scale	6 months	No
Secondary	VISIA complexion analysis	VISIA complexion analysis (Canfield Imaging Systems, Fairfield, New Jersey) on day 0 (initial treatment), day 30 and when the patient's perioral fine lines have returned to baseline.
