Straberi Epistamp Needling Treatment For Skin Rejuvenation (ESAA)

December 4, 2023 updated by: Universal Skincare Institute

Face Study of the Effects of Needling Using the Straberi Epistamp for the Improvement of Fine Lines and Skin Laxity.

This pilot study will expand knowledge and application needling using the Epistamp device for the improvement of a new vitalized epidermal layer with new vibrant active cells, supported by more robust collagen and elastin fine lines, deep wrinkles, and collagen production.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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 pilot study will expand the knowledge and application needling using the Epistamp device and its benefits for improving the appearance of fine lines, deep wrinkles, and collagen production. The pilot aims to objectively measure skin quality using the Derma Scan, photographs and provide objective data showing improvement by way of the Universal Skincare Institute Blood Flow Scale.

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.

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
The Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS)
Time Frame: 6 months
The Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) is a 5-point scale rating global aesthetic improvement in appearance, compared to pretreatment, as judged by the investigator 5 point scale ranging from 1 to 5 with 5 = The appearance has worsen compared with the original condition and 1 = Excellent corrective results investigator.
6 months

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Skin improvement assessed by Derma Scan
Time Frame: 6 months
The Derma Scan System utilizes two special lighting systems (RGB +UV) and smart skin analyzer software that allows two images (before and after care) to be compared side by side, which can be used to detect the changes in skin.
6 months
Photographs
Time Frame: 6 months
Digital imaging device using a grid background with controlled lighting and setting to grade acne scar improvement on a quartile grading scale(1 = 1% to 25%, 2 = 26 to 50%, 3 = 51 to 75%, 4 = >76% improvement).
6 months
To evaluate the impact on the quality of life (DLQI)
Time Frame: 6 months
The Dermatology Life Quality Index questionnaire (DLQI) is 10 questions were asked to the patients and score is 0-3 for each question. The DLQI is calculated by summing the score of each question resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired.
6 months
Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS)
Time Frame: 6 months
The Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale assesses the presence and severity of wrinkles at rest in a rating scale from 0 to 4, where 0 means no visible wrinkles, 1 means minimal wrinkles, 2 means shallow wrinkles, 3 means moderately deep wrinkles and 4 means very deep wrinkles.
