  4. in patients susceptible to keloid formation, hypertrophic scarring, or developing inflammatory skin conditions.
  5. in patients with impaired wound healing due to systemic disorders, medicinal drugs, or unhealthy or poorly-vascularized tissue.
  6. in patients suffering from prolonged bleeding or tissue healing due to medical conditions or medicinal drugs.
  7. in patients with a history of anaphylactic reactions and/or multiple severe allergies.

* Has experienced trauma to the face within 6 months before enrollment or has residual deficiencies, deformities, or scarring
* History of anaphylaxis or allergy to HA products, or Streptococcal protein
* Fat injection or permanent facial implants (eg, polymethylmethacrylate, silicone, polytetrafluoroethylene) anywhere in the face
* Semi-permanent soft-tissue filler treatment (eg, CaHA, poly-L-lactic acid) in the face within 36 months before enrollment
* Temporary dermal filler injections in the face within 24 months before enrollment
* Botulinum toxin treatment in the cheek area (including crow's feet, depressor anguli oris, jawline, platysma, etc.) within 6 months before enrollment
* Mesotherapy or cosmetic facial procedures in the face within 6 months before enrollment. Examples of mesotherapy or cosmetic facial procedures are face-lift, laser, photomodulation, intense pulsed light, radio frequency, dermabrasion, moderate or greater depth chemical peel, or other ablative procedures.
* Changes in use of over-the-counter or prescription oral or topical, anti-wrinkle products in the face within 30 days before enrollment or planned changes during the study. Participants are not eligible for this study if they have begun using any new over-the-counter or prescription oral or topical, anti-wrinkle products in the face within 30 days before enrollment or are planning to begin using such products during the study. Participants who have been on a regimen of such products for at least 30 days are eligible for the study if they intend to continue their regimen throughout the study.

* Current enrollment in an investigational drug or device study or participation in such a study within 30 days of entry into this study
* Has tattoos, piercings, facial hair, or scars in the face that would interfere with the visualization of the face for the effectiveness assessment
* Has undergone a dental procedure within 6 weeks before treatment or plans to undergo a dental procedure (other than prophylaxis or dental fillings) during the course of the study
* Females who are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or nursing.
* TI's discretion based on participant's safety and/or study integrity. The participant has a condition or is in a situation that, in the TI's opinion, may put the participant at significant risk, may confound the study results, or may interfere significantly with the participant's participation in the study.
