  • Those with known allergy to polycaprolactone, carboxymethylcellulose, or any of the ingredients in this product, any local anesthetics such as lidocaine or other amide anesthetics;
  • Those with tattoos, scars, deformities, non-healing wounds, active skin disease or skin inflammation (e.g., herpes, acne, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, herpes zoster, etc.), abscess, cancer or pre-cancerous lesions and so forth on the forehead that may affect the evaluation of efficacy or increase the risk of treatment;
