Alma Lasers ClearLift is a fractional non-ablative Q-Switched laser, allowing practitioners to use the benefits of a high intensity QS laser for the treatment of aged skin. Alma Harmony ClearLift uses a fractional QS laser to achieve a deep mechanical effect beneath the epidermis via a photoacustic effect. This creates a controlled dermal wound while leaving the epidermis intact. The wound healing process stimulates growth of new collagen, skin contracture and tightening. This procedure is virtually painless with no downtime and is safe for all skin types. Based on this background, we have considered an interest to design a study aimed at assessing the efficacy and safety of a treatment course with ClearLift Module in patients with facial skin wrinkles

Primary endpoint
70% of participants will demonstrate any improvement in the treated facial skin wrinkles after ClearLift treatment based on the rating of three blinded assessors that will compare the baseline 2D photographs with the 3-month follow-up visit photographs and will rate the degree of improvement using the 5-points Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS)- in which 1 denotes "Wors";2 denotes "No change";3 denotes "Improved"; 4 denotes "Much improved"; and 5 denotes "Very much improved".
Time frame: at the 3-month follow-up
Secondary endpoint
Improvement in the treated facial skin wrinkles after ClearLift treatment based on the rating of the investigator that will compare the baseline 2D photographs with the 1-month follow-up visit photographs and will rate the degree of improvement using the 5-points Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS)- in which 1 denotes "Wors";2 denotes "No change";3 denotes "Improved"; 4 denotes "Much improved"; and 5 denotes "Very much improved".
Time frame: at the 1-month follow-up
Secondary endpoint
Improvement in skin texture of the treated facial skin wrinkles, as evaluated by the VISIA 3D camera, at the 1- and 3-month follow-up visits compared to baseline
Time frame: at the 1 and 3-month follow-up
Secondary endpoint
Participant's satisfaction with treatment at the 1- and 3-month follow-up visits, as evaluated using a 5-point Likert scale, in which 1 denotes "Very dissatisfied";2 denotes "Dissatisfied";3 denotes "Satisfied"; 4 denotes "Very satisfied"; and 5 denotes "Extremely satisfied ".
Time frame: at the 1 and 3-month follow-up
