This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of J-Plasma in the reduction of facial wrinkles and rhytides. It is a multi-center, single arm, evaluator-blind prospective study of 55 study subjects who are seeking a procedure to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and rhytides and will be conducted at up to 5 investigational centers in the United States. Each study subject will receive one procedure with J-Plasma at enrollment. Follow-up will occur immediately following the procedure, at 10 days, 1, 3, and 6 months after enrollment.
The study objective is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the J-Plasma system for use in dermal skin resurfacing. This is a multi-center, single arm, evaluator-blind prospective study of 55 study subjects who are seeking a procedure to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and rhytides at up to 5 investigational centers in the United States. Study subjects that meet study eligibility criteria and have provided informed consent will be enrolled in the study. During the procedure, the investigators will use J-Plasma on applicable facial zones to reduce wrinkles and rhytides. Study subjects will be followed immediately following the procedure, at 10 days, 1, 3, and 6 months post-procedure for study assessments. Study enrollment is expected to occur over 3-6 months. Imaging and study assessments will continue through 6 months post-procedure. Total study duration is expected to be approximately 9-12 months. Primary study endpoints will be assessed at 3 months following the procedure.

Improvement in Fitzpatrick Wrinkle and Elastosis Scale (FWS) Score
The comparison of the proportion of subjects (i.e. percentage of treatment responders) with a ≥ 1-score improvement on the FWS at the 3-month visit, as compared to baseline as determined by at least 2 out of 3 blinded Independent Photographic Reviewers. Min=1, Max=9, where 1 is best and 9 is worst. The larger the difference between the baseline and 3 month scores, the greater the improvement.
Time frame: Baseline to 3 months
Adverse Event Rate and Duration
Adverse event rates, categorized by duration
Time frame: Up to 3 months
Number of Participants With a ≥ 1-score Improvement on the Fitzpatrick Wrinkle and Elastosis Scale (FWS) and at Least an "Improved" Rating on the Modified Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) at the 3-month Visit.
Assessment of modified Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) at the 3-month visit compared to baseline as assessed by the investigator. Scale ratings: "Very much improved," "Much improved," "Improved," "No change," "Worse," "Much worse," and "Very much worse." An "improvement" on the modified GAIS includes "Improved," "Much improved," or "Very much improved."
Time frame: Baseline to 3 months
Evaluation of Pain and Discomfort
The evaluation of the pain and discomfort after treatment as reported by the subject on a 10-point visual analog scale (VAS). Mean change in VAS from baseline to 3 months. 0 = best possible level of pain and discomfort, 10= worst possible level of pain and discomfort.
Time frame: Baseline to 3 months
