Study Summary

The primary objective of Part A is to compare the change in elasticity measurements at baseline and at 3 months between subjects who have had a resurfacing or tightening procedure and those who have not. The secondary objective for Part A is to develop baseline elasticity scores for ages 18-35, 36-50, and 51-65 and for Fitzpatrick skin types I-II, III-IV, and V-VI. The primary objective of Part B is to compare the age of the scar and surrounding tissue with the elasticity measurements.

Primary Outcome

Difference in skin elasticity measurements will be compared between subjects of varying ages at different anatomical sites: scarred sites, forehead, cheeks, mandible, and inner arm.
