Summary

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of injection with DGE Injectable Gel (hyaluronic acid with lidocaine manufactured by Genzyme Biosurgery) as compared to injection with Restylane (a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved dermal filler) in patients undergoing cutaneous correction of the nasolabial folds (NLFs).

Conditions

  • Facial Wrinkles at the Nasolabial Folds

Interventions

DEVICE

Dermal Gel Extra (DGE)

Dermal Gel Extra (DGE) Injectable Gel contains hyaluronic acid with lidocaine. DGE was administered to nasolabial folds via the intradermal route. The Principal Investigator was instructed to inject a sufficient amount of DGE to ensure full correction of the NLF wrinkles (i.e., to the optimal level of correction achievable). Up to 2 touch-up treatments were allowed in the Initial Treatment period.

DEVICE

Restylane

Restylane was administered to nasolabial folds via the intradermal route. The Principal Investigator was instructed to inject a sufficient amount of Restylane to ensure full correction of the NLF wrinkles (i.e., to the optimal level of correction achievable). Up to 2 touch-up treatments were allowed in the Initial Treatment period.

DRUG

EMLA Cream

EMLA Cream (Eutectic Mixture of Local Anesthetics) is an FDA-approved topical anesthetic comprised of 2.5% each of lidocaine/prilocaine. EMLA Cream was applied in approximately equal amounts prior to all injections of DGE and Restylane.
