Brief Summary

Demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the GentleMax Pro Plus™ laser system for its intended uses: hair removal including pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB), clearance of pigmented and/or vascular lesions, temporary increase of clear nail in patients with onychomycosis and improvement in appearance of wrinkles. Evaluate GentleMax Pro Plus™ laser system for the clearance of acne.

Conditions

Pseudofolliculitis Barbae; Unwanted Hair; Pigmented Lesions; Vascular Lesion; Onychomycosis; Wrinkle; Acne

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (8)

• Treatment Time

  Evaluate the speed (time of treatment completion) with larger spot sizes for hair removal

  8 Months

• Hair Count Assessments

  Improvement in hair clearance quantified by hair counts taken within a portion of the treatment area and percent reduction by assessments of digital photos taken at Baseline compared to follow-ups.

  14 Months

• Global Aesthetic Improvement Score

  Improvement in the appearance of wrinkles, benign pigmented lesions, and/or vascular lesions from baseline to follow-up(s) via the Investigator Global Aesthetic Improvement Score (IGAIS) whereas 1 = very much improved and 5 = worse. A lower score post treatment(s) indicates a better outcome.

  7 Months

• Fitzpatrick Wrinkle and Elastosis Score

  Improvement in the appearance of wrinkles from baseline to follow-up(s) via the Investigator Fitzpatrick Wrinkle and Elastosis Scale whereas 1 = fine wrinkles and mild elastosis and 9 = deep wrinkles and severe elastosis. A lower score post treatment(s) indicates a better outcome.

  7 Months

• Pigment Improvement Score

  Improvement in BPLs from baseline to follow-ups via the Investigator Pigment Improvement Score (PIS) whereas 0 = no improvement and 4 = excellent response. A higher score post treatment(s) indicates a better outcome.

  7 Months

• Acne Counts

  Measured by improvement of acne counts from baseline compared to follow-ups. A lower score post treatment(s) indicates a better outcome.

  5 Months

• Onychomycosis Score

  Improvement in the appearance of nails from Baseline to follow-up(s) via the Scoring Clinical Index of Onychomycosis (SCIO Index) which ranges from 0 to 30 whereas 0 indicates lesser degree of onychomycosis and 30 indicates higher degree of onychomycosis. A lower score post treatment(s) indicates a better outcome.

  9 Months

• Onychomycosis Score

  Improvement in the appearance of nails from Baseline to follow-up(s) via the Onychomycosis Improvement Scale whereas 1 = completely cleared and 5 = worse. A lower score post treatment(s) indicates a better outcome.

  9 Months
