Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Percentage of Participants With Device Related Anticipated Skin Effects, Serious Adverse Events, or Adverse Events.	The immediate skin reaction and long-term side and adverse effects were evaluated on site by a dermatologist. This includes the following clinical outcomes: Presence of transient (disappearing < 24 hours) or prolonged erythema; Presence of transient (disappearing < 24 hours) or prolonged edema; Self-limited bleeding from mechanical shaving; Blister formation; Ulcer formation; Pigment changes (hypo/hyper); Textural changes; Scarring; Infection; Pruritis; Post inflammation reactions; Allergic reaction; The safety of the device will be confirmed if no device related serious adverse event will occur.	Up to 3 months	Yes
Secondary	Tolerability Level of the Procedure for Each Treatment Separately for Light and Dark Skin.	Subject self-report of the tolerability of the procedure (no pain, mild pain, moderate pain) after each of the treatments (#1, #2, #3)separately for relatively light and dark skin photo-types (I-IV and V-VI respectively according to Fitzpatrick skin photo-type classification)	0, 3, 7 days (after treatment #1, #2, and #3 respectively)	No
Secondary	Hair Clearance	Hair Clearance = the percent of hair cleared from baseline to follow up	8 weeks after last treatment	No
