    Clinical-Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (C-GAIS):

    3 (Very Much Improved) 2 (Much Improved)

    1 (Improved) 0 (No change)

    -1 (Worse)

  2. SQA by the PI or Designee

    Time frame: Approximately 3 months from the baseline visit

    The quality of subjects' skin is assessed by PI/designee using the Skin Quality Assessment (SQA)

    Skin Quality Assessment (SQA):

    Tone (dyschromia) 0 - severe unevenness

    1- moderate to severe unevenness 2 - moderate unevenness 3 - mild unevenness 4 - even

    Elasticity (Firmness) 0 - Very poor elasticity
