Recent advancements in anatomical studies have enabled a more sophisticated approach to treating patients with facial aesthetic concerns with hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers. For instance, volumizing a specific area of concern may be warranted, but it is essential to understand how the underlying patient anatomy is continuing to laxity and hollowness. Varying manufacturing technology have offered a range of HA fillers with different physical and chemical properties adapted to different indications, each one tailored to provide a slightly different outcome based on the needs of the patient. Given these advances in the medical aesthetic field, investigators and clinicians are seeking to develop a new methodology for providing patients with a more tailored and personalized treatment approach. This methodology includes using a pan-facial, multilayering treatment technique that can be employed by injectors once experience is gained with standard techniques. The goal of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of layering HA from the Restylane line of soft tissue products to create a more harmonious and complete aesthetics results.

Participants will receive multilayering treatment (i.e., one product will be placed deep and one in a more superficial plane) in area of primary deficit (i.e., the midface or lower face), in isolation or combination with other treatment areas.

RECRUITINGFrequency and severity of adverse events (AEs) related to multilayering treatment technique
Safety of multilayering treatment technique will be determined by the frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs): a. physician-reported and b. participant-reported.
Time frame: Baseline to Week 24
Evaluate the efficacy of concurrently layering hyaluronic acid fillers in different tissue planes during facial aesthetic treatments in the same region at different depths
The efficacy of multilayering treatment technique will be determined by the frequency of participants having at least "improved" (e.g., "improved", "much improved" or "very much improved") on the Global Aesthetics Improvement Scale (GAIS), a 5-point scale, categorized as "worse", "no change", "improved", "much improved", and "very much improved", as graded by a blinded evaluator.
Time frame: Baseline to Week 24
