Brief summary: This is a single center, off-label, multiple dose, multiple injection areas, Phase 4 study to assess the safety and efficacy of multi-dilution CCH in adult women with mild or moderate edematous fibrosclerotic panniculopathy (EFP). 5 subjects will be screened and dosed in the buttock and thigh areas using a multi-dilution injection technique.

Qualified subjects (determined by investigator assessment) will receive a single vial of 0.84 mg of CCH to treatment areas (buttocks and thighs) for a total dose of 1.68 mg in both buttocks and both thighs per treatment session × 3 treatment sessions (Day 1, Day 22, and Day 43). Subjects will have follow-up visits at approximately 90 after Day 1.


Eligibility criteria: Subject Inclusion Criteria:

In order to be eligible to participate in the study, at the Screening Visit and on Study Day 1, subjects must:

* Be female and 18-60 years of age at the time of consent.
* Have both buttocks and both posterolateral thighs with:

  * A score of 2 or 3 (mild or moderate) as reported by the investigator using the Clinician-Reported Photonumeric Cellulite Severity Scale (CR-PCSS).
  * A Hexsel Cellulite Severity Scale (CSS) Subsection D "Grade of Laxity, Flaccidity, or Sagging Skin" score of 0 (absence of laxity, flaccidity, or sagging skin), or 1 (slightly draped appearance) at the Screening Visit only.
* Have a body mass index (BMI) score between 18.0 kg/m2 and 30.0 kg/m2 and intends to maintain stable body weight (:S10% change from the Day 1 Visit weight) throughout the duration of the study (from the Screening Visit through the Day 180/Early Termination Visit).
* Be willing to apply sunscreen to the treatment areas before each exposure to the sun for the duration of the study (from the Screening Visit through the Day 180/Early Termination Visit).
