- Injectable filler in area to be treated within 9 months of investigation.
- permanent facial implant
- Any subject who have visible scars that may affect evaluation of response and/or quality of photography.
- Subjects with any type of active cut, wound, inflammation, lesion (benign, premalignant or malignant) or active bacterial, viral, fungal, or herpetic infection on the skin on the designated treatment sites or in close proximity to it.

- Collagen or vascular or bleeding disease
- Immunosuppression or autoimmune disease
- Erythema with or without blistering
- History of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
- Active Acne Vulgaris, Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1), or any existing skin condition/disease that in the investigator's opinion would interfere with the evaluation of the safety of the study treatment.
- Any skin pathology which can induce bullous lesions, urticaria, or demonstrate a Koebner phenomenon (psoriasis, lichen planus, etc.).
- Any disease that inhibits pain sensation
- History of keloid formation, or hypertrophic scarring
- Conditions affecting healing rate (i.e. diabetes mellitus I or II, vascular condition, etc.)
