What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Canfield Vectra Photography

    The Primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of nutritional supplements for the reduction of ecchymosis and erythema associated with aesthetic procedures.

    Reduction in ecchymosis and erythema will be determined by evaluation of red, green and blue color values of 3D patient photography using the Canfield Vectra.

    Measured: baseline, within 30 minutes post injection/laser, Day 1, Day 3, Day 7 and Day 30.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Heatherton & Polivy State Self-Esteem (HPSS) Scale, (SkinReplica) at Day 30 as compared to baseline (ablative laser group only, Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS,

    to evaluate the effects of nutritional supplementation with the following assessments: Improvement in self-esteem at all follow-up visits compared to baseline as assessed using the Heatherton \& Polivy State Self-Esteem (HPSS) Scale Improvement in fine lines and wrinkles in the crow's feet area as assessed using silicon profilometry (SkinReplica) at Day 30 as compared to baseline (ablative laser group only) Improvement in aesthetic appearance at all follow-up visits as assessed by the subject's assessments of photography from the Canfield Vectra 3D Imaging Severity of ecchymosis assessed using a 5-point categorical scale within 30 minutes post injection/laser and all subsequent follow up visits Severity of erythema as assessed using a 4-point scale within 30 minutes post injection/laser and all subsequent follow up visits Subject satisfaction with healing assessed at Day 7 and 30 Severity and duration of adverse events measured by 30-day patient diary

    Measured: 30 min post injections- 30 days
