- Arm && Interventions
Group Intervention Description Treatment Arm GentleMax Pro Plus All study subjects are to receive treatment with GentleMax Pro Plus device.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Treatment Time 8 Months Evaluate the speed (time of treatment completion) with larger spot sizes for hair removal
Hair Count Assessments 14 Months Improvement in hair clearance quantified by hair counts taken within a portion of the treatment area and percent reduction by assessments of digital photos taken at Baseline compared to follow-ups.
Global Aesthetic Improvement Score 7 Months Improvement in the appearance of wrinkles, benign pigmented lesions, and/or vascular lesions from baseline to follow-up(s) via the Investigator Global Aesthetic Improvement Score (IGAIS) whereas 1 = very much improved and 5 = worse. A lower score post treatment(s) indicates a better outcome.
Acne Counts 5 Months Measured by improvement of acne counts from baseline compared to follow-ups. A lower score post treatment(s) indicates a better outcome.
Pigment Improvement Score 7 Months Improvement in BPLs from baseline to follow-ups via the Investigator Pigment Improvement Score (PIS) whereas 0 = no improvement and 4 = excellent response. A higher score post treatment(s) indicates a better outcome.
Onychomycosis Score 9 Months Improvement in the appearance of nails from Baseline to follow-up(s) via the Onychomycosis Improvement Scale whereas 1 = completely cleared and 5 = worse. A lower score post treatment(s) indicates a better outcome.
Fitzpatrick Wrinkle and Elastosis Score 7 Months Improvement in the appearance of wrinkles from baseline to follow-up(s) via the Investigator Fitzpatrick Wrinkle and Elastosis Scale whereas 1 = fine wrinkles and mild elastosis and 9 = deep wrinkles and severe elastosis. A lower score post treatment(s) indicates a better outcome.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Subject Global Aesthetic Improvement Score 24 Months Overall subject improvement with study treatments per treatment indication as measured by Subject Global Aesthetic Improvement Score (SGAIS) whereas 1 = very much improved and 5 = worse. A lower score post treatment(s) indicates a better outcome.
Subject Pain 8 Months Measurement of Subject Pain Assessment post-treatment for all subjects, using an 11-point pain Numerical Rating Scale where 0=no pain, 10=extreme pain
Subject Satisfaction Score 24 Months Overall subject satisfaction with study treatments per treatment indication as measured by Subject Satisfaction Scale whereas 1 = not satisfied and 5 = very satisfied. A higher score post treatment(s) indicates a better outcome.
