About this trial
The primary objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the 2,910 nm mid-infrared erbium-doped fluoride fiber glass laser (UltraClear, Acclaro Medical) for non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment of three facial regions: eyebrow lift (Region 1), submental tissue lift (Region 2), and improvement of rhytids and skin laxity in the cheeks, midface, and jawline (Region 3).

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Objective measurement of maximal eyebrow lift according to quantitative 2D imaging.
Blinded Photographic Review
Blinded independent photographic review correct identification of pre-post image sequence for eyebrow lift, submental lift and improvement of lax skin in the lower face and submentum.
○ Objective measurement of lax submental tissue lift according to quantitative 2D imaging.
Secondary outcomes
Physician rating on the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (PGAIS)
Physician graded aesthetic improvement, scored from photographs. Scale 0 - 4 with 4 being the most improved and 0 being worse than the original condition. 4 - Very much improved, optimal cosmetic result, very significant improvement 3 - Much improved, market improvement in appearance from the initial condition, but not completely optimal, marked 2 - Improved, obvious improvement in appearance from the initial condition, but a pretreatment is needed, moderate 1 - No change, the appearance is essential the same as the original condition in appearance from he initial condition 0 - Worse, the appearance is worse than the original condition, no improvement
Subjects rating on the Subject Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale & Satisfaction Questionnaire (SGAIS)
Subjects rate their perceived improvement of the treatment area on a 5 point scale. 4- Very Much Improved, optimal cosmetic result, very significant improvement 3 - Much Improved, marked improvement in appearance from he initial condition but not completely optimal, marked 2 - Improved, obvious improvement in appearance from the initial condition, but a re-treatment is needed, moderate 1 - No change, the appearance is essentially the same as the original condition in appearance from the initial condition 0 - Worse, the appearance is worse than the original condition, no improvement
Other outcomes
Evaluation of the pain and discomfort after treatment as reported by the subject on a visual analog scale (VAS)
VAS is a 10 point scale, reported by the subject. Subjects will be asked to report on a scale of 0-10, the average level of discomfort experienced during treatment. 0 - No Pain 5 - Moderate Pain 10 - Unbearable Pain
