This is a randomized, controlled, double-blinded, within-subject (split-face), multicenter, prospective study to investigate whether RHA® Redensity with new anesthetic agent is non-inferior to RHA® Redensity with lidocaine in terms of injection site pain felt by the subject during injection. At screening, the Principal Investigator (PI) evaluated subjects' perioral rhytid severity (using the Perioral Rhytid Severity Rating Scale; PR-SRS) to confirm eligibility and to establish a pre-treatment score for assessing aesthetic improvement. At Visit 1, RHA® Redensity with new anesthetic agent was administered in a random sequence (first or second injection) and side of the mouth (left or right) and RHA® Redensity with lidocaine was administered to the other side. Study subjects and the PI injecting study devices were blinded. Immediately after injection of an upper perioral quadrant, subjects rated the injection site pain experienced during injection using a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Injection site pain in each side of the mouth was also assessed at 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes after injection of the upper quadrant. Safety evaluation consisted of AE assessments, a 30-day CTR (Common Treatment Response) diary and a follow-up call performed by the study site at 72 hours after injection. Subjects attended Visit 2 (30 days post-injection) where effectiveness and safety assessments were conducted. Subjects who presented with an unresolved clinically significant device related AE at Visit 2 received a optional follow-up phone call no later than 30 days after Visit 2. If the clinically significant AE remained unresolved, the Investigator requested that the subject attended the optional in-clinic follow-up visit (i.e., Visit 3) within 5 working days. Follow-up of the clinically significant AE continued until the AE was resolved or the TI determines that additional follow-up was not necessary.

A sterile, biodegradable, biocompatible, viscoelastic, clear, colorless, homogenized gel implant. It consists of cross-linked hyaluronic acid produced by fermentation of Streptococcus zooepidemicus, formulated to a concentration of 15 mg/g and 0.3% w/w of new anesthetic agent in a physiologic buffer.

Non-inferiority of RHA® Redensity with new anesthetic agent versus RHA® Redensity with lidocaine in terms of reducing pain during device injection into the upper perioral rhytids.
Injection pain during injection was measured on the 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS), as assessed by subjects immediately after injection of each upper perioral quadrant. VAS is a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale with 0 meaning no pain and 100 meaning intolerable pain
Time frame: Visit 1 - During Injection
Difference between RHA® Redensity with new anesthetic agent versus RHA® Redensity with lidocaine in term of reducing pain at 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes post-injection in each side of the mouth.
Injection pain was measured on the 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS), as assessed by subjects in each side of the mouth. VAS is a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale with 0 meaning no pain and 100 meaning intolerable pain
Time frame: Visit 1 - 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes post-injection
