| Percentage of NLFs With Treatment Success at Month 6 | Treatment success was defined as a greater than or equal to (>=) 1-point improvement from baseline, as assessed by a blinded evaluator wrinkle severity rating scale (WSRS) scale. WSRS is a 5 point scale with scores as Score 1: Absent; Score 2: Mild; Score 3: Moderate; Score 4: Severe; Score 5: Extreme. | Month 6 |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of NLFs With an Improvement in the Blinded Evaluator's GAIS Score at Month 6 | The blinded evaluator rated the current cosmetic result for each NLF according to the GAIS based on live assessments during the visit compared with photographs taken at baseline before administration of treatment on each NLF. An improvement on the GAIS was classified as "improved", "much improved", or "very much improved. The GAIS is a 7-point scale, where: +3 (very much improved), +2 (much improved), +1 (improved), 0 (no change), -1 (worse), -2 (much worse), and -3 (very much worse). |

Baseline up to Month 12
The investigator asked the participant for adverse events (AEs) systematically at each visit. The SES was used for AE assessment. The SES was defined as all participants who received an investigational product.
As all participants received Radiesse in either of the two nasolabial folds and Restylane in the respective other, adverse events are reported in a combined group.
