Other | Blinded Reviewer's Global Assessment of Improvement | Three blinded experienced, non-treating clinicians will independently evaluate pre- and post-treatment photos of each subject, presented randomly. Each reviewer will be asked to determine the temporal order (before and after) of each photo pair, and then rate the degree of tattoo clearing or reduction in benign pigmentation in the post-treatment photo using the following scale:
3 = Very significant or complete clearing (75-100%) 2 = Significant clearing (50-74%) 1 = Moderate clearing (25-49%) 0 = Mild or no clearing (0-24%) |
3-month (Group B), 6 months (Group A) Post Final treatment | |
Other | Melasma Area Severity Index (MASI) | Three blinded experienced, non-treating clinicians will independently evaluate pre- and post-treatment photos of each subject, presented randomly, using the MASI. Each of four regions (forehead, right malar region, left malar region and chin) will be assessed based on three variables: percentage of the total area involved (A), darkness (D), and homogeneity (H). | 3 Months (Group B), 6 Months (Group A) post final treatment | |
Primary | Investigator's Global Assessment of Improvement | Overall aesthetic improvement based on completion of the Physician's Global Assessment of Improvement Scale. Physician evaluators will review study photos post-final treatment, and rate the degree of tattoo clearing or reduction in benign pigmentation observed in the subject's treated area using the following definitions:
3 = Very significant or complete clearing (75-100%) 2 = Significant clearing (50-74%) 1 = Moderate clearing (25-49%) 0 = Mild or no clearing (0-24%) |
Up to 6 Months following final study treatment | |
Secondary | Subject's Global Assessment of Improvement | Overall aesthetic improvement based on completion of the Subject's Global Assessment of Improvement Scale. Subjects will be asked review study photos post-final treatment, and rate the degree of tattoo clearing or reduction in benign pigmentation observed in the subject's treated area using the following definitions:
3 = Very significant or complete clearing (75-100%) 2 = Significant clearing (50-74%) 1 = Moderate clearing (25-49%) 0 = Mild or no clearing (0-24%) |
1 month, 3 Months, 6 Months (Group A Only) post final treatment | |
Secondary | Subject Satisfaction | Following the final study treatment, subjects will be asked to rate their level of satisfaction with the laser treatment outcome and the overall laser treatment procedure, using the Subject Satisfaction Assessment Scale and the following definitions:
2 = Extremely Satisfied 1 = Satisfied 0 = Neutral (-1) = Unsatisfied (-2) = Extremely Unsatisfied |
1 month, 3 Months, 6 Months (Group A Only) post final treatment |
