• Celluite skin tightening [ Time Frame: 1, 3, 6 month follow up ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  

• Safety and efficacy of laser with and without cooling [ Time Frame: Laser Treatments x3 and at 1, 3 and 6 month follow up ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  

The objective of this investigation is to evaluate the effectiveness of a non-ablative treatment for skin laxity by increasing dermatofibrosis of the reticular dermis using the Candela GentleYAG laser. Treatment areas will be limited to the arms, legs, abdomen, and neck.

• The primary objective is to assess the safety and efficacy of the laser for skin tightening.
• The secondary objective is to assess the safety and efficacy of the laser with cooling and the laser without cooling for skin tightening.

This is an open label trial. Treatment will be conducted on either the left or the right thigh, which will be randomly determined. The contra-lateral side will not be treated and will serve as a control. A comparison of baseline photographs (prior to treatments) to photographs taken 1 and 3 months after the completion of treatments will be conducted. Photographic equipment and the protocol for photography will be consistent at each visit. Ultrasound may be taken at baseline and at the follow-up visits to evaluate flatness of cellulite and dermal fibrosis or enlargement of the reticular dermis. The circumference of the area to be treated will be measured with a tape measure, weight/height will be recorded and the Body Mass Index (BMI) will be calculated at baseline and follow-up visits. In addition, skin elasticity may be measured at the treatment areas at baseline and follow-up visits. The photographs, ultrasound and measurements will be taken using consistent procedures at each visit by viewing the baseline photograph and using landmarks such as freckles and birthmarks.
