cch treatment of cellulite in the presence of dermal laxity with comparison between two (2) different injection techniques

Conditions: Edematous Fibrosclerotic Panniculopathy; Cellulite; Laxity; Skin

Summary: this study is designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of collagenase clostridium histolyticum (cch) for the treatment of mild to moderate edematous fibrosclerotic panniculopathy (cellulite) in participants with moderate to severe dermal laxity in the buttocks or thighs with comparison between two (2) different cch injection techniques.
