Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age ≥ 26 (including 26 years old), male or female;
- Subjects willing to correct midface volume deficiency and/or midface contour deficiency;
- According to the assessment by the blinded evaluators, subjects must have mild to severe midface volume deficiency and/or midface contour deficiency on each side (MMVS grade of 2 to 4). It is not required for both sides to have the same MMVS grade, but the difference in MMVS grade between the two sides must be ≤ 1 grade;
- Subjects are able to understand the objective of the study, voluntarily participate in the study and are willing to sign a written ICF.
You may not qualify if:
- \. Subjects known to be allergic to hyaluronic acid products or to any component of the investigational medical device/control medical device; or subjects with a known history of severe allergies or anaphylactic shock.
- Subjects showing abnormal coagulation mechanism (activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) \>1.5 times the upper limit of normal) during the screening period, or those who have received any thrombolytic agent, anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs (such as warfarin and aspirin) within 2 weeks before the screening.
- Having tattoos, piercings, prominent facial hair, keloids, deformities, non-healed wounds, abscesses, granuloma, malignancies or precancerous lesions, malignant tumors, or skin mass of unknown nature, etc. in the midface area that may affect the efficacy evaluation or increase the treatment risks.
- Judged by the investigators, subjects with active skin diseases, inflammation, or infections (such as herpes, eczema, acne, dermatitis, psoriasis, herpes zoster, fungal infections, papillomatosis, etc.) that may affect the assessment of midface.
- Subjects who have previously undergone facial surgery for wrinkle removal (such as subcutaneous separation and lifting, Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System (SMAS) separation and lifting, subperiosteal separation and combined wrinkle removal) or those intending to undergo facial surgery for wrinkle removal during the trial.
- Subjects who have previously undergone face surgical procedures (such as autologous fat grafting, absorbable catgut embedding treatment, liposuction, lipolysis, etc.) in the midface area, or those intending to undergo such treatments during the trial.
- Subjects who have previously undergone face surgical procedures (such as autologous fat grafting, absorbable catgut embedding treatment, liposuction, lipolysis, rhytidectomy, etc.) in other sites of face (except in the midface area) within 24 months prior to the screening period, or those intending to undergo such treatments during the trial.
- Subjects who have previously received any permanent filler treatments (such as polymethyl methacrylate, silicone, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, etc.) or other unknown material injection therapy in the midface area, or those intending to undergo such treatments during the trial.
- Subjects who have received calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-L-lactic acid, poly-lactic acid, poly-di-spiralactic acid, polycaprolactone, etc. in the midface area within 24 months prior to the screening period, or those intending to undergo such treatments during the trial.
- Subjects who have received cross-linked hyaluronic acid injection in the midface area within 12 months prior to the screening period, or those intending to undergo such treatments during the trial.
- Subjects who have undergone any cosmetic treatments (such as botulinum toxin treatment, non-crosslinked sodium hyaluronate filler, collagen filler, radiofrequency treatment, focused ultrasound treatment, laser treatment, medium or deeper chemical peels, dermabrasion, photodynamic therapy or other ablation surgeries, etc. (except mesotherapy)) in the midface area within 6 months prior to the screening period, or those intending to undergo such treatments during the trial.
- Subjects who have received mesotherapy, photobiologic modulation therapy (red and blue light, etc., except laser therapy), intense pulsed light, microneedling (except radio frequency microneedles), very superficial or superficial chemical peels (such as retinol, alpha hydroxy acids, salicylic acid, etc.) in the midface area within 3 months prior to the screening period, or those intending to undergo such treatments during the trial.
- Subjects with active autoimmune diseases (such as inflammatory bowel disease) or a history of such diseases, as well as those with active connective tissue diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, and systemic lupus erythematosus) or a history of such diseases.
- Subjects who have received chemotherapy, immunosuppressive treatments, immunomodulators (such as monoclonal antibodies, etc.), or systemic corticosteroids (excluding inhaled corticosteroids) within 3 months prior to the screening period; or those who have received any drug treatments prior to screening that may affect efficacy evaluation or increase treatment risks in the investigator's judgment.
- Subjects with a history of keloids.
