Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with moderate to severe nasolabial folds (WSRS 3 or 4) who are willing to avoid other NLF treatments during the study.

Probably not a fit

Individuals with minimal wrinkle severity, prior detectable filler in the NLF area, active infection, or recent facial treatments may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This interventional study evaluates the long-term safety and effectiveness of the RADIESSE Injectable Implant for filling moderate to severe nasolabial folds in Chinese adults. Participants receive treatment in both sides of the face and may get an optional touch-up at one month, with follow-up through 24 months after the last treatment. The study monitors safety, degradation profile, and aesthetic results using standard facial grading scales. Eligibility requires defined wrinkle severity and a commitment to avoid other facial treatments in the NLF area during participation. Exclusion criteria rule out prior identifiable filler material in the area, active infection, recent fillers, and recent facial procedures that could affect assessments.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience longer-lasting improvement in nasolabial fold appearance with a predictable safety profile.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies of RADIESSE in facial wrinkles have shown durable correction and acceptable safety in varied populations.
