This is a single center study for adult females or males ages 25 to 75 years who are seeking
treatment for etched-in fine lines of the cutaneous lip, and/or radial cheek area, and/or
nasolabial folds, and/or melolabial folds, and/or forehead. The purpose of this study is to
evaluate blended Belotero for the treatment of etched-in fine facial lines and to monitor
for adverse events.

This is a study to evaluate the effects of Belotero blended with 0.1 cc of 1% lidocaine with
epinephrine per 1.0 cc of Belotero in the treatment of etched-in fine facial lines. 30
adults scheduled to have blended Belotero injected into fine lines of the cutaneous lip,
and/or radial cheek area, and/or nasolabial folds, and/or melolabial folds, and/or forehead
will be evaluated. The blended Belotero will be injected intradermally into these etched-in
fine lines. The patients will be given diary cards to document potential adverse events. 2
weeks after receiving injections of the blended Belotero the subjects will return to have
photographs taken, have their treated fine lines evaluated, and complete a self assessment
questionnaire. Touch-up injections are common clinical practice and if additional touch-ups
would improve their result, those subjects can be re-treated at this visit. Those subjects
who are touched up will return to the clinic for an additional follow up visit and
photographs 2 weeks later. All subjects will return to the clinic 12 weeks and 24 weeks
after their last injection for photographs and evaluations. Improvement assessments will be
made by investigator ratings at each visit. Investigator ratings for the cutaneous lip and
the forehead area are based on the Merz Aesthetic Validated Assessment Scales. Investigator
ratings for the radial cheek area, nasolabial folds, and melolabial folds are based on the
Validated Lemperle Facial Wrinkle Scales.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Adult females and males, aged 25-75 years.

based on the Validated Lemperle Facial Wrinkle Scales.

- Subjects with visible scars in the treatment area that may affect evaluation of
response and/or quality of photography in the opinion of the investigator.

- Known allergy or sensitivity to any of the treatment injections or their components,
