To assess the efficacy and safety of the Skin stylus Sterilock microneedling system in reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles.This study is intended to be a single arm study. Suitable subjects who meet all inclusion criteria and consented will undergo 4 microneedling sessions at baseline and days 30, 60 and 90.

Subjects will be assessed at days 90, 120 and finally at day 150 by a physician utilizing the wrinkle grading scale developed by Lemperle (2001) and skin laxity and texture using a modified Alexiandes Armenakas (2010) grading scale.

Physicians will grade treatment response on days, 90, 120 and finally on day 150 using a Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) Standard photography will be recorded at baseline and days 30, 60, 90, 120 and finally at day 150.

Subjects will complete diaries including self-assessment of treatment response, side effects & downtime up to 7 days post treatment.

Subjects will assess treatment response on days 90, 120 and finally on day 150 using a Subject Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (SGAIS).

Subjects will assess treatment response and satisfaction at baseline and day 150 using the Facial Appearance, Health-Related Quality of Life and Adverse Effects (FACE-Q3) Patient reported outcome measure (PROM).

The number, type and severity of adverse events will be recorded during the duration of the study period.

At the end of the study period, photography will be assessed by three blinded physicians using the wrinkle grading scale developed by Lemperle (2001)
