Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Clinical improvement	Change in appearance based from clinical photos done in baseline, week 6, week 10, week 14 and week 16 . This will be assessed by quartile grading scale (poor, <25% improvement; fair, 25-50% improvement; good, 51-75% improvement; and excellent, >75% improvement)	16 weeks
Secondary	Patient satisfaction rate	Self-reported by the patient using a quartile grading system with the following grades: 0 as poor; 1 as fair; 2 as satisfied; or 3 as very satisfied. The rating will be done at weeks 6, 10, 14 and 16.	16 weeks
