FHAME is a post-market clinical investigation designed to strengthen the clinical evidence supporting the effectiveness of STYLAGE® HydroMax in the treatment of superficial wrinkles, primarily on the cheeks.
FHAME is an interventional, post-market, multicentric, prospective, randomized clinical investigation conducted in subjects without any pathology, treated with CE-marked STYLAGE® HydroMax to confirm and update its clinical performance and safety. The primary objective of the study is to assess the mean change from baseline in cheek wrinkle severity, evaluated by an independent blinded assessor at six weeks post-baseline using the Bazin cheek wrinkle scale during live assessments. Clinical performance will be demonstrated if the mean change in the Bazin cheek wrinkle score at six weeks post-baseline is statistically superior in the treatment group (Group A) compared to the control group (Group B). To demonstrate the superiority of STYLAGE® HydroMax compared to no treatment, a total of 81 subjects will be randomized in the study. The overall duration of the study is expected to be approximately seventeen months, including a recruitment period of around six months, a screening period of two weeks, and an investigation period of thirty-six weeks post-randomization for Group A and forty-two weeks for Group B.

Occurrence of Injection Site Reactions (ISRs) to Assess Product Safety and Tolerability
Product safety and tolerance will be assessed by collection of the occurence of any Injection site reactions (ISRs). The following events occurring within 14 days after an injection session will be considered as ISR: redness/erythema, pain/tenderness, burning sensation, firmness/induration, sensitivity disorder, swelling/edema, lumps/bumps, bruising/ecchymosis with potential bleeding and hematoma, itching. An ISR can be requalified as an adverse event (AE) if, at the discretion of the principal investigator, the nature of the observation/event exceeds what would be expected and considered normal.
Time frame: Throughout the investigation period: V0, V1a/V1b, V2a/V2b, V3a/V3b, V4a/V4b, V5a/V5b, V6a/V6b, V7b, V8b
Occurrence of Adverse Events (AE) to Assess Product Safety and Tolerability
Product safety and tolerance will be assessed by collection of the occurence of any Adverse Events (AE). Any other events occurring at any time or any ISR (Injection Site Reaction) persisting beyond 14 days after an injection session will be considered an AE.
Time frame: Throughout the investigation period: V0, V1a/V1b, V2a/V2b, V3a/V3b, V4a/V4b, V5a/V5b, V6a/V6b, V7b, V8b
