Abstract:
Compositions and methods for the surface appearance of the skin a subject are provided. An injectable composition comprising at least hyaluronic acid or a salt thereof; and an effective amount of at least mepivacaine or a salt thereof are provided. The hyaluronic acid optionally has an average molecular weight ranging from 50,000 to 10,000,000 Daltons, and may be crosslinked hyaluronic acids, non-crosslinked hyaluronic acids, or a combination, in some embodiments. The compositions and methods of the present invention are useful for treating and preventing the cutaneous signs of chronological aging and/or induced by external factors such as stress, air pollution, tobacco or prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) exposure, impaired surface appearance of the skin, impaired viscoelastic or biomechanical properties of the skin, and/or the long-lasting filling of volume defects of the skin.

Claim (Index 1):
A stable, sterile, injectable composition for intraepidermal, intradermal, and/or subcutaneous administration to a subject in need thereof comprising:\n an effective amount of hyaluronic acid or a salt thereof, and mepivacaine or a salt thereof as a first anesthetic agent at a concentration ranging from 0.05 to 3 wt % of an overall weight of the stable, sterile, injectable composition, wherein: the mepivacaine or the salt thereof limits loss of elastic modulus measured as G\u2032 during sterilization in comparison with the same composition having another anesthetic agent instead of mepivacaine.
