A Study of Nutritional Supplementation in Altering Ecchymosis, Erythema and Health Outcomes Associated With Aesthetic Procedures

May 30, 2018 updated by: Steven H. Dayan, DeNova Research

A Double-blinded, Randomized Placebo Controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy of Nutritional Supplementation in Altering Ecchymosis, Erythema and Health Outcomes Associated With Aesthetic Procedures

Nutritional supplementation is more effective than placebo in the reduction of redness and bruising following facial ablative laser resurfacing treatments and following soft tissue filler injections to the lips and/or malar areas.

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.

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

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria

  1. Males and females aged 18 or greater.
  2. Subjects requesting full facial ablative laser resurfacing treatment or soft tissue filler augmentation to the lips and/or malar areas.
  3. Subjects willing to abstain from exclusionary procedures in the treatment area (i.e., injectable fillers, laser or chemical resurfacing, botulinum toxin type A, facial cosmetic surgery).
  4. Willingness and ability to comply with protocol requirements, including returning for follow-up visits and abstaining from exclusionary procedures for the duration of the study.

  5. Subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test result at Visit 1 and be willing able to use an acceptable method of birth control (e.g., barrier methods used with a spermicidal agent, hormonal methods, IUD, surgical sterilization, abstinence) during the study. Women will not be considered of childbearing potential if one of the following is documented on the medical history:

    • postmenopausal for at least 12 months prior to study drug administration

    • has had a bilateral tubal ligation for at least 6 months prior to study drug administration.

  6. Willingness and ability to provide written photo consent and adherence to photography procedures (i.e., removal of jewelry and makeup).
  7. Willingness and ability to provide written informed consent prior to performance of any study related procedure.

Exclusionary Criteria

  1. Subjects who are pregnant, nursing, planning to become pregnant, and/or not using a reliable form of birth control.
  2. Subjects with a known allergy or sensitivity to any component of the study treatment or anesthesia.
  3. Subjects who have had prior exposure to any permanent filler in the area(s) to be treated.
  4. Ablative skin resurfacing on the malar area within the previous 6 months.
  5. Current history of nutritional supplementation (14 day washout period)
  6. Retinoid, microdermabrasion, or prescription level glycolic acid treatments to the malar area within 2 weeks prior to study participation or during the study.
  7. Active infection in the malar area (e.g., acute acne lesions or ulcers).
  8. Current history of chronic drug or alcohol abuse.
  9. History of autoimmune disease.
  10. Current history of blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen, naprosyn, herbal supplements, Vitamin E, etc.)
  11. Current history of tobacco use
  12. Concurrent therapy that, in the investigator's opinion, would interfere with the evaluation of the safety or efficacy of the study medication.
  13. Subjects who anticipate the need for surgery or overnight hospitalization during the study.
  14. Subjects who, in the Investigator's opinion, have a history of poor cooperation, non¬compliance with medical treatment or unreliability.

  15. Enrollment in any active study involving the use of investigational devices or drugs.

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
Canfield Vectra Photography
Time Frame: baseline, within 30 minutes post injection/laser, Day 1, Day 3, Day 7 and Day 30.

The Primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of nutritional supplements for the reduction of ecchymosis and erythema associated with aesthetic procedures.

Reduction in ecchymosis and erythema will be determined by evaluation of red, green and blue color values of 3D patient photography using the Canfield Vectra.
baseline, within 30 minutes post injection/laser, Day 1, Day 3, Day 7 and Day 30.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
