AVAVA SR-1 Wrinkles and BPL Study

This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a laser called the SR-1 Skin Treatment System, or SR-1 Laser, for the treatment of wrinkles and pigmented spots. Participants will be treated with the SR-1 Laser 3 or 4 times with each treatment spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The improvement in wrinkles and pigmented spots will be evaluated 1 and 3 months after the final treatment.
