Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change in lift of lax tissue [3 and 6 months post last treatment]

    As assessed by independent masked evaluators. Quantitative image analysis to objectively measure change in lift of the eyebrow and submental and neck lax tissue would be conducted by comparing baseline images to those taken at each visit post FU1 (Pre Tx.2, FU2)
