Prospective, Open-Label, Single-Center Pilot Study. The study is aimed to evaluate the histologic effects of a unipolar microplasma electrode pin radiofrequency device (Alma Lasers OPUS system) on the abdominal skin. The study will include up to 2 subjects. Each subject will have a single cutaneous treatment of their lower abdomen, with variable treatment parameters. Punch biopsies will be obtained from each treatment section, for in-vivo histological evaluations.
