Safety and Effectiveness of the CLEAR + BRILLIANT TOUCH(R) Diode Laser 1440-nm and 1927-nm Combination Wavelength Treatment

A Prospective Study Evaluating the Safety and Effectiveness of the CLEAR + BRILLIANT TOUCH(R) Diode Laser 1440-nm and 1927-nm Combination Wavelength Treatment.

This is a prospective study of up to 30 subjects designed to assess the safety and effectiveness of a non-ablative fractional laser combination wavelength treatment for general resurfacing of photoaged skin. All study subjects will be treated on the whole face with the CLEAR + BRILLIANT TOUCH(R) 1440-nm and 1927-nm handpieces. Subjects will be treated with a consecutive series of four (4) treatments spaced 1 month apart, along with follow-up study visits at one (1) and three (3) months after final treatment.
