What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Photographic Evaluation of Wrinkle Severity at 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.	Baseline
Photographic Evaluation of Wrinkle Severity at 1 Month 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.	1 Month Follow Up Post Last Treatment
Photographic Evaluation of Wrinkle Severity at 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.	3 Month Follow Up Post Last Treatment
Photographic Evaluation of Wrinkle Severity at 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.	4 Month Follow Up Post Last Treatment
Photographic Evaluation of Wrinkle Severity at 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. 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.	6 Month Follow Up Post Last Treatment
