After 56 days, the number of participants reporting reduction in the appearance of wrinkles rose to 70%. Similarly, after 14 days, 56% of the participants indicated improved skin-firmness and after eight weeks of treatment those with improvements in skin-firmness rose to 70%. The final report is still being drafted but will include physiological measurements in skin firmness, wrinkle reduction, skin moisture, skin tone, skin suppleness, and skin pigment uniformity.
