Clinical Evaluation of M22 ResurFX 1565nm Module

At least thirty (30) subjects, Fitzpatrick-Goldman Skin Type I-IV will be enrolled in 2 clinical sites; each clinic will enroll at least 15 subjects.

Subjects should present visible wrinkles and/or striae requiring treatment.

Hypothesis: The M22 ResurFX 1565nm module will improve the appearance of the wrinkles by at least 2 grades on the Fitzpatrick-Goldman Wrinkle and Elastosis Score, and striae by at least 50% using VAS as compared to baseline, for at least 75% of the subjects.

17. Multiple dysplastic nevi in area to be treated;
18. Having a bleeding disorder or taking anticoagulation medications, including heavy use of aspirin, in a manner which does not allow for a minimum 10 day washout period prior to treatment (as per the patient's physician discretion);

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Wrinkle treatment; Wrinkle treatment with ResurFX 1565nm module	Device: M22 ResurFX module; The system delivers pulsed near Infra-Red (NIR) laser light with a nominal wavelength of 1565 nm and has a unique treatment handpiece with epidermal cooling. The clinician is able to control the settings of energy, µBeams density, scan size, and shape option from the user interface (LCD GUI) display on the main M22 console.
Experimental: Striae treatment; Striae treatment with the REsurFX 1565nm module	Device: M22 ResurFX module; The system delivers pulsed near Infra-Red (NIR) laser light with a nominal wavelength of 1565 nm and has a unique treatment handpiece with epidermal cooling. The clinician is able to control the settings of energy, µBeams density, scan size, and shape option from the user interface (LCD GUI) display on the main M22 console.
