lutronic genius system for neck treatment

Conditions: Wrinkle; Skin Laxity; Skin Texture Disorder

Summary: the genius system is substantially equivalent to the infini device (k121481). the study is a prospective, multi-site, non-randomized study of up to 30 treated subjects presenting for treatment of mild to moderate lines, wrinkles, textural concerns, and/or skin laxity of the neck.

at enrollment, standardized baseline/pretreatment 2d and 3d images will be obtained from each subject. study subjects will receive three neck treatments completed 30 days apart. subjects will be contacted via a phone call 3 days following each treatment to assess for adverse events and expected treatment effects. effectiveness assessments will occur prior to treatments #2 and #3, and a follow-up visit will be completed at 90 days following treatment #3. each assessment visit will include efficacy, adverse events, and expected treatment effects assessments, and post-treatment 2d and 3d digital images will be captured.
