- Liposuction within the treatment areas during the 12-month period before injection of study drug.
- Injections (eg, mesotherapy); radiofrequency device treatments; laser treatment; or surgery (including subcision and/or powered subcision) within the treatment areas during the 12-month period before injection of study drug.
- Any investigational treatment for EFP/cellulite on treatment areas during the 12-month period before the injection of study drug.

Treatment I: CCH Shallow Injection, 3 Aliquots
Treatment II: CCH Shallow Injection, 1 Aliquot
Treatment III: CCH Deep Injection, 1 Aliquot
Treatment IV: CCH Deep and Shallow Injections, 5 Aliquots
Treatment V: CCH Shallow Injections, 4 Aliquots
In Treatment I, CCH will be injected subcutaneously while the participant lies in a prone position. Each injection will consist of a single skin injection of study drug administered as three 0.1 milliliters (mL) aliquots (for a total injection volume of 0.3 mL). During each treatment visit, 8 syringes (4 syringes per treatment area) will be prepared for dosing. Each syringe will contain 0.9 mL of CCH (3 injections in each syringe). Dose per participant per treatment visit = up to 1.68 milligrams (mg) of CCH (0.84 mg in each treatment area).
In Treatment II, CCH will be injected subcutaneously while the participant is in a prone position. Each injection will consist of a single skin injection of study drug administered as a single shallow injection of a 0.3 mL aliquot. During each treatment visit, 8 syringes (4 syringes per treatment area) will be prepared for dosing. Each syringe will contain 0.9 mL of CCH (3 injections in each syringe). Dose per participant per treatment visit = up to 1.68 mg of CCH (0.84 mg in each treatment area).
In Treatment III, CCH will be injected subcutaneously while the participant is in a prone position. Each injection will consist of a single skin injection of study drug administered as a single deep injection of a 0.3 mL study drug aliquot. During each treatment visit, 8 syringes (4 syringes per treatment area) will be prepared for dosing. Each syringe will contain 0.9 mL of CCH (3 injections in each syringe). Dose per participant per treatment visit = up to 1.68 mg of CCH (0.84 mg in each treatment area).
In Treatment IV, CCH will be injected subcutaneously while the participant lies in a prone position. Each injection will consist of a single skin injection of study drug administered as five 0.3 mL (for a total injection volume of 1.5 mL). During each treatment visit, 24 syringes (12 syringes per treatment area) will be prepared for dosing. Each syringe will contain 1.5 mL of CCH (5 aliquots of 0.3 mL, for each injection, in each syringe). Dose per participant per treatment visit = up to 1.68 mg of CCH (0.84 mg in each treatment area).
In Treatment V, CCH will be injected subcutaneously while the participant lies in a prone position. Each injection will receive a single skin injection of study drug administered as four 0.3 mL aliquots (for a total injection volume of 1.2 mL). During each treatment visit, 24 syringes (12 syringes per treatment area) will be prepared for dosing. Each syringe will contain 1.2 mL of CCH (4 aliquots of 0.3 mL each). Dose per participant per treatment visit = up to 1.68 mg of CCH (0.84 mg in each treatment area).
