Treatment was assessed by blinded evaluation of clinical photographs using a GAIS scale of 0\u201310, as well as through patient satisfaction ratings on a scale of 0\u201310. Throughout the treatment, pain levels and adverse events were monitored.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The mean GAIS score was 7.55\u2009\u00b1\u20091.15 (mean\u2009\u00b1\u2009SD), and the mean patient satisfaction score was 7.3\u2009\u00b1\u20091.26 (mean\u2009\u00b1\u2009SD). There was a strong positive correlation between GAIS and patient satisfaction scores (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.83), and no significant difference between them (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2010value\u2009=\u20090.516). The number of treatments did not significantly affect GAIS and patient satisfaction scores (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2010values 0.364 and 0.126). Additional positive unexpected outcomes were improved skin firmness and reduced wrinkles.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results of the study indicate
