This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of bipolar fractional radiofrequency treatment via use of the Profound System to achieve lift in lax submental (beneath the chin) and neck tissue
A multi-center, blinded, non-randomized, non-controlled study
Up to 60 eligible participants will be enrolled at up to three (3) sites. Participants will receive one (1) treatment in the submental/neck area. Participants will complete follow-up visits for clinical evaluation at Day 14, 1 Month, 3 Month, and 6 Months after the study treatment. Standard photography will be obtained at Screening to the 6 Month follow-up, and 3D photography will be obtained at Screening, Month 3, and Month 6 visit.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single Group | Experimental | Single Arm: All subjects will undergo treatment for skin laxity in the submentum with a Dermal and SubQ handpiece |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dermal Handpiece / SubQ Handpiece | Device | Bipolar radiofrequency (RF) travels from the RF generator, through the electrodes and into the dermal layers beneath the surface of the skin. The microneedles of the Dermal and SubQ cartridges coupled with thermal heat will stimulate neocollagenesis and neoelastosis, aiding in the reduction of submental laxity. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in submental skin laxity | Improvement in overall lifting of treated tissue in the submental/neck region via blinded evaluation of Baseline (pre-procedure) and Day 180 (post-procedure) photographs | Baseline - Day 180 (6 months post-treatment) |
| Occurrence, severity, and relatedness of adverse events | The number and level of severity of adverse events after device treatment. An assessment will also be made to determine if the adverse event is related to the study devices and/or procedure | Baseline - Day 180 (6 months post-treatment) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in submental skin laxity | Improvement in overall lifting of treated tissue in the submental/neck region via blinded evaluation of Baseline (pre-procedure) and Day 90 (post-procedure) photographs | Baseline - Day 90 (3 months post-treatment) |
| Surface Area Assessment to demonstrate percentage of participants having improvement in tissue lift (> 20mm2 in submental and neck skin laxity) |

Change in submental and neck skin laxity via 3D photo-analysis |
| Baseline vs. Day 180 |
| Subject assessment of improvement in skin laxity | Improvement in skin laxity scored by subject using a 5-point Global Aesthetic Improvement Score (1=Very Much Improved, 5=Worse) | 3 Month Follow-Up and 6 Month Follow-Up |
| Subject satisfaction of treatment results: Subject Satisfaction scale | Using a Subject Satisfaction scale, subjects will score satisfaction of treatment results (1=Not Satisfied, 5=Very Satisfied). Lower scores will show worse outcomes and higher scores will show better outcomes. | Day 14 - 6 Month Follow-Up |
| Subject assessment of pain: Numerical Pain Rating Scale | The subjects' assessment of pain will be completed using an 11-point Numerical Pain Rating Scale (0=No pain, 10=extreme pain) | Treatment Visit |
