Acceptable forms of effective birth control include:
Negative pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential at the screening and Baseline visits.
Exclusion criteria
Known/previous allergy or hypersensitivity to any injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) gel or to gram positive bacterial proteins.
Known/previous allergy or hypersensitivity to anesthetics, e.g., lidocaine or other amide-type anesthetics or nerve blocking agents.
Previous or present severe or multiple allergies manifested by severe reactions, such as anaphylaxis or angioedema, or family history of these conditions.
Previous facial surgery (e.g., facelift) that in the Treating Investigator´s opinion could interfere with the study safety and/or effectiveness assessments.
Any previous aesthetic procedures or implants:
History of cancer or previous radiation in the treatment area.
Advanced photoaged/ photodamaged facial skin (e.g. advanced skin elastosis, multiple lentigo solaris lesions) or skin condition with very crinkled or fragile skin in the face.
Presence of any disease or lesions near or on the area to be treated, e.g.:
Evidence of scar-related disease or delayed healing activity within 1 year prior to the Baseline visit, or subjects susceptible to keloid formation, hyperpigmentation or hypertrophic scarring in the opinion of the Investigator.
Presence of tattoo, piercing, beard or facial hair, which, in the Treating Investigator's opinion, would interfere with the study injections and/or study assessment.
Presence of a dental, oral, or facial condition which, in the Treating Investigator's opinion, would interfere with the study injections and/or study assessments, e.g., has dentures or any device covering all or part of the upper palate, and/or severe malocclusion or dentofacial or maxillofacial deformities. Any planned procedure (e.g., dental implants, tooth extractions, orthodontia) during the study period, that would make the subject unsuitable for inclusion in the opinion of the Investigator.

Use of concomitant medication that have the potential to prolong bleeding times such as anticoagulants or inhibitors of platelet aggregation (e.g., warfarin, clopidogrel, aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs], Omega-3 or Vitamin E), within 14 days prior to injection. Omega-3 and Vitamin E are acceptable only as part of a standard multivitamin formulation. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX 2) inhibitors are allowed.
Treatment with chemotherapy, immunosuppressive agents, systemic corticosteroids within 3 months before treatment (eyedrops, intraarticular, and inhaled corticosteroids are allowed).
Use of topical corticosteroids or prescription retinoids on the treatment area within 1 months prior to Baseline or use of systemic retinoids within 6 months prior to Baseline.
Presence of any condition or situation, which in the opinion of the Treating Investigator makes the subject unable to complete the study per protocol, e.g.
