Responder Rate Compared to the Untreated Control Group According to the Merz Infraorbital Hollow Assessment Scale (MIHAS).
MIHAS was a 5 point scale ranging as: Grade 0 (none to minimal), Grade 1 (mild), Grade 2 (moderate), Grade 3 (severe), Grade 4 (extreme). Responder rate was defined as percentage of participants with treatment response who achieved greater than or equal to (\>=) 1 grade improvement on both IOHs on the MIHAS.
Time frame: Baseline up to Month 2
Change From Baseline in Rasch-Transformed Score for the Face-Q Satisfaction With Eyes
The FACE-Q is a set of standardized patient-reported outcome scales for participants undergoing facial cosmetic procedures. The participants answered 7 questions of the FACE-Q satisfaction with eyes scale using a 4 point scale where: 1 (very dissatisfied), 2 (somewhat dissatisfied), 3 (somewhat satisfied), 4 (very satisfied). The sum scores of the FACE-Q satisfaction with eyes questionnaire and the Rasch-transformed scores ranging from 0 to 100 were summarized by treatment arm. Higher scores reflected a better outcome.
Time frame: Baseline and Month 2
Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) Scores
7 point rating scale ranging from: +3 (very much improved), +2 (much improved), +1 (improved), 0 (no change), -1 (worse), -2 (much worse), -3 (very much worse).
Time frame: Baseline up to Month 2
GAIS Scores as Assessed by Participants
Participants evaluated their IOHs on 7 point rating scale ranging from: +3 (very much improved), +2 (much improved), +1 (improved), 0 (no change), -1 (worse), -2 (much worse), -3 (very much worse).
Time frame: Baseline up to Month 2
Responder Rate in the Treatment Group and the Untreated Control Group According to MIHAS as Assessed by Independent Panel Reviewers
MIHAS was a 5 point scale ranging as: 0 (none to minimal), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), 3 (severe), 4 (extreme). Responder rate was defined as percentage of participants with treatment response who achieved \>=1 improvement on both IOHs compared to baseline. A participant was considered a responder if a treatment response of at least a 1-point change on both IOHs was determined by independent panel reviewers.
