Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective study evaluating the safety and efficacy of two treatments, spaced at 30 day intervals, using the Surgitron® Dual RF™ S5 with the Pellevé™ wrinkle treatment handpiece and Pellevé™ treatment gel for the treatment of neck wrinkles.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

26 years to 66 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Neck and Facial Wrinkles Using the Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Assessment
Time Frame: 90 days post treatment

Three independent investigators blinded to photography time points will perform retrospective evaluations of photography from all visits using the 9-point Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Assessment Scale for assessment of neck and facial wrinkles at the culmination of the study.

The measurement is for percentage of patients who showed improvement
90 days post treatment
Number of Participants With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability
Time Frame: 90 days post treatment
The rate of adverse events will be assessed throughout the duration of the study
90 days post treatment
