- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change From Baseline in Tactile Roughness Score Baseline (Day 1) to Week 12 The investigator assessed the participant's tactile roughness in the entire face using a 10-point scale where None (0)= No roughness of the treatment area; skin is completely smooth and pliable to Severe (7 to 9)= Marked roughness of the treatment area associated with stiff feeling at Baseline and Week 12. A decrease in score indicates improvement. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
Change From Baseline in Appearance of Coarse Lines/Wrinkles Score (Forehead, Periocular, Cheeks and Perioral Areas Individually Assessed) Baseline (Day 1) to Week 12 The investigator assessed the participant's appearance of coarse lines/wrinkles using a 10-point scale where None (0)= No coarse lines/wrinkles present; skin looks completely smooth and wrinkle-free to Severe (7 to 9)= Many coarse lines/wrinkles densely packed together in the treatment area (forehead, periocular, cheeks and perioral areas) at Baseline and Week 12. A decrease in score indicates improvement. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
Change From Baseline in Appearance of Fine Lines/Wrinkles Score (Forehead, Periocular, Cheeks and Perioral Areas Individually Assessed) Baseline (Day 1) to Week 12 The investigator assessed the participant's appearance of fine lines/wrinkles using a 10-point scale where None (0)= No fine lines/wrinkles present; skin looks completely smooth and wrinkle-free to Severe (7 to 9)= Many coarse lines/wrinkles densely packed together in the treatment area (forehead, periocular, cheeks and perioral areas) at Baseline and Week 12. A decrease in score indicates improvement. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
Change From Baseline in Overall Photodamage Score Baseline (Day 1) to Week 12 The investigator assessed the participant's overall photodamage using a 10-point scale where None (0)= Facial skin is smooth to the touch, without significant fine/coarse line or skin tone unevenness in any areas (periocular, cheeks, forehead and perioral areas) to Severe (7 to 9)= Facial skin shows 3 or more areas (periocular, cheeks, forehead and perioral areas) of significant roughness, skin tone unevenness (red/brown), or fine/coarse lines at Baseline and Week 12. A decrease in score indicates improvement. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change From Baseline in Skin Roughness Score Using the Allergan Skin Roughness Visual Scale Baseline (Day 1) to Week 12 The investigator assessed the participant's skin roughness using the Allergan Skin Roughness Visual 5-Point Scale where None (0)= Smooth visual skin texture to Extreme (4)= Extremely coarse visual skin texture, crosshatched deep creases; extreme elastosis at Baseline and Week 12. A decrease in score indicates improvement. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
Change From Baseline in Appearance of Fine Lines Score Using the Allergan Fine Lines Visual Scale Baseline (Day 1) to Week 12 The investigator assessed the participant's fine lines using the Allergan Fine Lines Visual 5-Point Scale where None (0)= No fine lines to Diffuse (4)= Diffuse superficial lines; crosshatching at Baseline and Week 12. A decrease in score indicates improvement. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
Investigator's Global Improvement Assessment for Tactile Roughness Baseline (Day 1) to Week 12 The investigator assessed the global improvement in the participant's overall tactile roughness compared to Baseline using a 5-point scale where None (0)= No change or worsening to Complete (4)= Complete clearing in the appearance of tactile roughness (approximately 95% or better overall improvement).
Investigator's Global Improvement Assessment for the Appearance of Coarse Lines/Wrinkles (Forehead, Periocular, Cheeks, Perioral Areas Individually Assessed) Baseline (Day 1) to Week 12 The investigator assessed the global improvement in the participant's overall appearance of coarse lines/wrinkles compared to Baseline using a 5-point scale where None (0)= No change or worsening to Complete (4)= Complete clearing in the appearance of coarse lines/wrinkles (approximately 95% or better overall improvement).
Investigator's Global Improvement Assessment for Overall Photodamage Baseline (Day 1) to Week 12 The investigator assessed the global improvement in the participant's overall photodamage compared to Baseline using a 5-point scale where None (0)= No change or worsening to Complete (4)= Almost complete improvement of the condition with a trace of signs/symptoms remaining (approximately 95% or better overall improvement).
Investigator's Global Improvement Assessment for the Appearance of Fine Lines/Wrinkles (Forehead, Periocular, Cheeks, Perioral Areas Individually Assessed) Baseline (Day 1) to Week 12 The investigator assessed the global improvement in the participant's overall appearance of fine lines/wrinkles compared to Baseline using a 5-point scale where None (0)= No change or worsening to Complete (4)= Complete clearing in the appearance of fine lines/wrinkles (approximately 95% or better overall improvement).
Change From Baseline in Spectrophotometer L* Value (a Measurement of Skin Brightness) Baseline (Day 1) to Week 12 Triplicate spectrophotometer readings were taken of the participant's face (Normal Skin and Target Lesions) at Baseline and Week 12. L\* value scores range from 0=black to 100=white. An increase in the spectrophotometer L\* values indicates improvement. A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement.
