Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the safety and duration of effect following different doses of Botulinum Toxin A (NT 201) in the treatment of glabellar frown lines (GFL).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This prospective, randomized, double-blind, multi-Center clinical study consists of a two stage experimental main period comparing different dose groups, followed by an optional open-label extension period (20 Units follow-up treatment).

Exclusion Criteria

* Previous treatment with Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) of any serotype in the facial area within the last 12 months before injection.
* Previous treatment with any facial cosmetic procedure (example, chemical peeling, photo rejuvenation, mesotherapy, photodynamic therapy, laser treatment, tattooing of eyebrows) in the glabellar area within the last 12 months before injection.
* Previous treatment with any biodegradable filler in the glabellar area within the last 12 months before injection.
* Inability to substantially reduce GFL by physically spreading them apart as assessed by the investigator.
* Excessively thick sebaceous skin or hypertrophic muscles in the upper third part of the face.
* Any surgery or scars in the glabellar area.
* Marked facial asymmetry.
