Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Treatment Time8 Months

Evaluate the speed (time of treatment completion) with larger spot sizes for hair removal

Hair Count Assessments14 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 Score7 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 Counts5 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 Score7 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 Score9 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 Score7 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
NameTimeMethod
Subject Global Aesthetic Improvement Score24 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 Pain8 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 Score24 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.
