Treatment and study plan

Pelleve Wrinkle Treatment System - includes the Pelleve Handpiece and S5 generator

Device

two treatments spaced 30 days apart

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Neck and Facial Wrinkles Using the Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Assessment

    Time frame: 90 days post treatment

    Three independent investigators blinded to photography time points will perform retrospective evaluations of photography from all visits using the 9-point Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Assessment Scale for assessment of neck and facial wrinkles at the culmination of the study.

    The measurement is for percentage of patients who showed improvement

  2. Number of Participants With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

    Time frame: 90 days post treatment

    The rate of adverse events will be assessed throughout the duration of the study
