Subject with a known allergy or hypersensitivity to Hyaluronic Acid or local anesthesia (Lidocaine or anesthetics of the amide type or any of the excipients) Subject with an acute inflammatory process or active skin disease, or related conditions, such as infection, psoriasis, rosacea, acne, blotches or other pathology near or on the injection sites with the potential to interfere with the study results or increase the risk of Adverse Events at the Investigator appreciation (other than HIV and related HIV disease). Subject with a past history of severe streptococcal disease or an active streptococcus infection. Subject predisposed to keloid or hypertrophic scarring. Subject with a disorder that may impact wound healing such as connective tissue or immunosuppressive disorder (other than HIV and related HIV disease). Subject with a history of precancerous lesions/skin malignancies on the injection sites. Subject with history of hyper- or hypo-pigmentation on the face. Subject with a known bleeding disorder or receiving medication that will likely increase the risk of bleeding during treatment, at the Investigator appreciation.

Patient having taken high-dose aspirin, anti-inflammatories, antiplatelet, thrombolytic during the week before the injection session.
