Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Onychomycosis Score | 9 Months | Improvement in the appearance of nails from Baseline to follow-up(s) via the Scoring Clinical Index of Onychomycosis (SCIO Index) which ranges from 0 to 30 whereas 0 indicates lesser degree of onychomycosis and 30 indicates higher degree of onychomycosis. A lower score post treatment(s) indicates a better outcome. |
| Fitzpatrick Wrinkle and Elastosis Score | 7 Months | Improvement in the appearance of wrinkles from baseline to follow-up(s) via the Investigator Fitzpatrick Wrinkle and Elastosis Scale whereas 1 = fine wrinkles and mild elastosis and 9 = deep wrinkles and severe elastosis. A lower score post treatment(s) indicates a better outcome. |
| Pigment Improvement Score | 7 Months | Improvement in BPLs from baseline to follow-ups via the Investigator Pigment Improvement Score (PIS) whereas 0 = no improvement and 4 = excellent response. A higher score post treatment(s) indicates a better outcome. |
| Acne Counts | 5 Months | Measured by improvement of acne counts from baseline compared to follow-ups. A lower score post treatment(s) indicates a better outcome. |
| Treatment Time | 8 Months | Evaluate the speed (time of treatment completion) with larger spot sizes for hair removal |
| Hair Count Assessments | 14 Months | Improvement in hair clearance quantified by hair counts taken within a portion of the treatment area and percent reduction by assessments of digital photos taken at Baseline compared to follow-ups. |
| Global Aesthetic Improvement Score | 7 Months | Improvement in the appearance of wrinkles, benign pigmented lesions, and/or vascular lesions from baseline to follow-up(s) via the Investigator Global Aesthetic Improvement Score (IGAIS) whereas 1 = very much improved and 5 = worse. A lower score post treatment(s) indicates a better outcome. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Subject Global Aesthetic Improvement Score | 24 Months | Overall subject improvement with study treatments per treatment indication as measured by Subject Global Aesthetic Improvement Score (SGAIS) whereas 1 = very much improved and 5 = worse. A lower score post treatment(s) indicates a better outcome. |
| Subject Pain | 8 Months | Measurement of Subject Pain Assessment post-treatment for all subjects, using an 11-point pain Numerical Rating Scale where 0=no pain, 10=extreme pain |
| Subject Satisfaction Score | 24 Months | Overall subject satisfaction with study treatments per treatment indication as measured by Subject Satisfaction Scale whereas 1 = not satisfied and 5 = very satisfied. A higher score post treatment(s) indicates a better outcome. |
