5. History of anaphylaxis or severe complicated allergy symptoms.
6. Clinically significant cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory, endocrine, or central nervous system disorders or previous mental disorders that may significantly affect the study.
7. Known hypersensitivity skin reaction to hyaluronic acid or hypersensitivity skin reaction to the investigational device based on intradermal test results at visit 1.
8. Evidence or history of autoimmune disease or compromised immune system.
9. Treatment with anticoagulants, thrombolytics, or platelet inhibitors within 1 week prior to study participation.
10. Prior permanent fillers or fat graft procedures around facial dermal tissue defects.
11. Facial dermal tissue defects correction procedures (e.g., botulinum toxin A injection, face lift, soft tissue augmentation, medium-depth peel, dermal photo-rejuvenation, etc.) around infraorbital region within 6 months prior to study participation.
12. History of hypersensitivity to local anaesthetic of amide type or HA.
13. History of keloid formation or hypertrophic scar on the face.
14. Evidence of active infection on the face.
15. Wound, skin disorder or infection around facial dermal tissue defects that may affect the efficacy assessment.
16. Pregnant woman, lactating woman, and man or woman of childbearing potential who is planning a pregnancy or is unwilling to use appropriate methods of contraception* during the study. *Methods of contraception: hormonal contraceptive, intrauterine device or intrauterine system, double barrier method (condom with spermicide/diaphragm or cervical cap with spermicide), surgical sterilization (vasectomy, tubal ligation, etc.).
