Group Intervention Description Micro-exisional skin removal MCD Micro-coring of skin on the facial and neck areas will be conducted in one treatment and followed for 90 days post treatment.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Assess level of wrinkle improvement using the Lemperle Wrinkle Severity Scale 90 day post treatment A mean change of 1 point or greater reduction in cheek wrinkle severity at 90 days post treatment using the Lemperle Wrinkle Severity Scale, as assessed by (3) blinded Independent Reviewers Lemperle Scale:
No wrinkles =0 Just perceptible wrinkles =1 Shallow wrinkles=2 Moderately deep wrinkles=3 Deep wrinkles, well-defined edges =4 Very deep wrinkles, redundant fold=5
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Assess aesthetic improvement in wrinkles using OCT images (optional) Baseline to Day 90 post treatment Assessment of improvement using OCT images with Vista software to determine wrinkle depth reduction, comparing pre-treatment depth to post treatment depth.
Assess safety profile by reviewing completed 14 day subject diary for potential side effects. For 14 days post treatment 14 day diary completed by each subject will record potential side effects, level of severity (mild = 1; moderate = 2; severe = 3), and end date of the potential side effects.
Assess safety profile by recording of adverse events Adverse events will be recorded immediately treatment, Day 1, Day 7, Day 30, Day 60 and Day 90 post treatment. Ad hoc assessment can occur upon subject report of AE. The incidence and severity of systemic and local adverse events will be recorded by the PI at all visits and a 14 day diary completed by each subject will also be collected.
Assess aesthetic improvement using Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale 90 day post treatment Overall aesthetic improvement level per Principal Investigator at 90 days compared to baseline on the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale.
Very Much Improved (Optimal cosmetic result)=3 Much Improved (Marked improvement from the initial condition, but not completely optimal)=2 No Change (The appearance is essentially the same as baseline)=0 Worse (The appearance is worse than the original condition)= -1 Much Worse (Marked worsening in appearance from the initial condition)= - 2 Very Much Worse (Obvious worsening in appearance from the initial condition)=- 3Assess aesthetic improvement using Subject Satisfaction Scale 90 day post treatment Satisfaction with the aesthetic appearance of the treatment area per Subject Satisfaction Scale compared to baseline.
Extremely dissatisfied=0 Somewhat dissatisfied=1 Slightly dissatisfied=2 Neither satisfied or dissatisfied=3 Slightly satisfied=4 Somewhat satisfied=5 Extremely satisfied=6Assess efficacy results using Canfield Software,, by comparing the changes in wrinkles at baseline and 90 days post treatment. Baseline to Day 90 post treatment Validated Canfield software comparing baseline wrinkles to day 90 follow up wrinkles via automated photo analysis.
