A Single Center, Prospective, Open-label, Clinical Trial Using Micro-injections of Transparent Hyaluronic Acid Gel (Restylane® Silk) for Rejuvenation of the Aging Cheek

The objective of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of Restylane® Silk
microinjections when used in a grid-like injection pattern for the correction of fine lines
to the cheeks.

Silk for correction of mid to low cheek fine lines and wrinkles. Twenty (20) subjects will be
enrolled. Each subject will receive Restylane® Silk to the entire cheeks. The defined area
will be defined as the following: line extending from the upper margin of the nasal ala to
the upper margin of the tragus, from the tragus to 1 cm above the mandibular angle, from 1 cm
above the mandibular angle to 1 cm above the pre-jowl sulcus, and from 1 cm above the
pre-jowl sulcus to the upper margin of the nasal ala. The injections will be delivered
intradermally via multiple 0.02 cc microinjections distributed in a grid array pattern with
1-2 cm between each injection point (see figure 1; injections will extend 1 cm above the
illustration). Following completion of injection treatment, manual massage will be applied to
the full area to promote even distribution of the product. Each subject will undergo a total
of three treatment sessions, one month apart, day 1, week 4, and week 8. The maximum amount
of Restylane to be used per treatments session/per cheek is 1.5cc (not to exceed a total of 9
cc) per treated patient. Three-dimensional digital photography utilizing the Vectra 3D System
(Canfield) will be utilized to document pre-treatment status, sites of injection, and
post-treatment effect. Subjects will be followed up at 4 weeks, 8 weeks, post-treatment day
90, and day 180. Objective measures of efficacy will be me performed pre-treatment, at day 90
and 180.
