Improvement in Overall Lifting and Tightening of the Skin
Tidsramme: Baseline to 180 days post-treatment
|
Determined by a masked, qualitative assessment of photographs at 180 days post treatment compared to pre-treatment baseline photographs.
A panel of three blinded assessors reviewed pre-treatment and post-treatment photos.
Each blinded assessor was provided an identical set of pre-treatment and Day 180 post-treatment photos to assess.
The pre/post treatment photos were consistent in lighting, subject positioning and focus.
The visit interval of each photo, i.e. pre and post treatment, was NOT marked.
Each blinded assessor conducted their assessment independently with no input from another blinded assessor, comparing each set of photos.
Each assessor indicated those subjects assessed as improved.
