Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Photographic Evaluation of Wrinkle Severity at Baseline
Time Frame: Baseline
Blinded evaluators grade photographs using the Fitzpatrick wrinkle severity scale and provide an overall score for each timepoint. The Fitzpatrick wrinkle scale classifies wrinkles on a scale from 1 (mild) to 9 (severe). Scores of 1-3 are for mild wrinkles, meaning that there are fine texture changes with subtly accentuated skin lines. Scores of 4-6 are for fine to moderate depth wrinkles or moderate amount of lines with distinct popular elastosis and dyschromia. Scores of 7-9 are for fine to deep wrinkles, with numerous lines with or without redundant skin folds. It is characterized by multiple papules and confluent elastosis.
Photographic Evaluation of Wrinkle Severity at 1 Month Post Last Treatment
Time Frame: 1 Month Follow Up Post Last Treatment
Blinded evaluators grade photographs using the Fitzpatrick wrinkle severity scale and provide an overall score for each timepoint. The Fitzpatrick wrinkle scale classifies wrinkles on a scale from 1 (mild) to 9 (severe). Scores of 1-3 are for mild wrinkles, meaning that there are fine texture changes with subtly accentuated skin lines. Scores of 4-6 are for fine to moderate depth wrinkles or moderate amount of lines with distinct popular elastosis and dyschromia. Scores of 7-9 are for fine to deep wrinkles, with numerous lines with or without redundant skin folds. It is characterized by multiple papules and confluent elastosis.
Photographic Evaluation of Wrinkle Severity at 3 Month Follow Up Post Last Treatment
Time Frame: 3 Month Follow Up Post Last Treatment
Blinded evaluators grade photographs using the Fitzpatrick wrinkle severity scale and provide an overall score for each timepoint. The Fitzpatrick wrinkle scale classifies wrinkles on a scale from 1 (mild) to 9 (severe). Scores of 1-3 are for mild wrinkles, meaning that there are fine texture changes with subtly accentuated skin lines. Scores of 4-6 are for fine to moderate depth wrinkles or moderate amount of lines with distinct popular elastosis and dyschromia. Scores of 7-9 are for fine to deep wrinkles, with numerous lines with or without redundant skin folds. It is characterized by multiple papules and confluent elastosis.
Photographic Evaluation of Wrinkle Severity at 4 Month Follow Up Post Last Treatment
Time Frame: 4 Month Follow Up Post Last Treatment
Blinded evaluators grade photographs using the Fitzpatrick wrinkle severity scale and provide an overall score for each timepoint. The Fitzpatrick wrinkle scale classifies wrinkles on a scale from 1 (mild) to 9 (severe). Scores of 1-3 are for mild wrinkles, meaning that there are fine texture changes with subtly accentuated skin lines. Scores of 4-6 are for fine to moderate depth wrinkles or moderate amount of lines with distinct popular elastosis and dyschromia. Scores of 7-9 are for fine to deep wrinkles, with numerous lines with or without redundant skin folds. It is characterized by multiple papules and confluent elastosis.
Photographic Evaluation of Wrinkle Severity at 6 Month Follow Up Post Last Treatment
Time Frame: 6 Month Follow Up Post Last Treatment
Blinded evaluators grade photographs using the Fitzpatrick wrinkle severity scale and provide an overall score for each timepoint. The Fitzpatrick wrinkle scale classifies wrinkles on a scale from 1 (mild) to 9 (severe). Scores of 1-3 are for mild wrinkles, meaning that there are fine texture changes with subtly accentuated skin lines. Scores of 4-6 are for fine to moderate depth wrinkles or moderate amount of lines with distinct popular elastosis and dyschromia.
