Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of mechanical coring for directional skin tightening. This study is a prospective, up to 3 center, multiple skin treatment area study of the safety and efficacy of mechanical coring with directional closure to achieve directional skin tightening.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study will evaluate the progress of up to 70 subjects after one treatment at up to 6 treatment areas on the body chosen from 2 on the neck (each treatment area approximately 1x3 cm), 2 on each underarm, 1 on each cheek, 2 on the abdomen, one on each thigh and 2 on the forehead area above the eyebrows (all approximately 6x4 cm). Subjects will be followed at 2, 5, 14, 28, 60, and 90 days after treatment.
