Participants will receive up to two treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart, followed by a 1-month and 3-month follow-up visit during which the device will be evaluated for its effectiveness defined as improvement addressing perioral lines and wrinkles utilizing multiple scales completed by the investigator and blinded Independent Photographic Reviewers (IPRs).
