Investigation of Radiofrequency Device for Treatment of Wrinkles and Rhytides

Radiofrequency Magnetic Induction Device for Use in Dermatologic Procedures for the Non-Invasive Treatment of Wrinkles and Rhytides

The purpose of this pilot research study is to collect information on the safety and effectiveness of an experimental device intended to be used to improve the appearance of the skin by reducing the visibility of wrinkles and by reducing the looseness of skin.
