Microneedling with CBD oil

All subjects will receive microneedling with CBD oil.At the baseline visit, the subject will undergo treatment by the principal investigator or subinvestigator. 3 days from the treatment visit, a phone call visit will be placed to assess any safety events and adherence to protocol guidelines. Day 21 visit, several assessments will be recorded and if no adverse events are reported related to the study device and/or procedure, a second treatment will be performed. After 3 days from the treatment visit, a phone call will be placed to assess any safety events. Subjects will have subjective assessments and photographs taken at all visits. At day 42, the subject will return for a third treatment if no adverse events related to the study device and/or procedure are reported. After 3 days from the treatment visit, a phone call will be placed to assess any safety events. On day 63,no treatment to be performed, only a safety assessment, standardized assessments/questionnaires and photography.
