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

Up to 12 subjects will be enrolled at 1 study center. Subjects will be enrolled into 2 groups. Group A will receive treatments on the face, neck, and/or body. Group B will receive split-face treatments where each side of the face may be treated with different tips. Subjects will attend a screening/pretreatment visit which may be performed on the same day as the treatment visit. Subjects may receive up to 5 treatments.

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

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • A healthy, non-smoking male or female between the age of 22-65 years old.
  • Fitzpatrick skin type I to VI.
  • Understands and accepts obligation not to receive any other procedures on the treatment area through the length of the study.
  • Understands and accepts the obligation and is logistically able to be present for all visits.
  • Is willing to comply with all requirements of the study and sign the informed consent document.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Is pregnant or of childbearing potential and not using medically effective birth control, or has been pregnant in the last 3 months, currently breast feeding or planning a pregnancy during the study.
  • The subject is currently enrolled in an investigational drug or device trial or has received an investigational drug or been treated with an investigational device within in the area to be treated 1 month prior to entering this study.
  • The subject has a pacemaker.
  • The subject had previous use of gold thread skin rejuvenation.
  • The subject has a cut, wound, or infected skin on the area to be treated (but skin eruptions may be treated).
  • The subject has a metal implant that interferes with the transmission of energy to the electrical field.
  • The subject has any embedded electronic devices that give or receive a signal.
  • The subject has Implantable Cardiac Defibrillators (ICD) or Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) devices: treatment may interfere with the functionality of the device and/or damage the electronic implant.
  • The subject is allergic to adhesives such as glues on medical tape: they should be alerted that a rash may occur on the neutral electronic monitoring pad (NEM or neutral pad) site, and an over-the-counter preparation may be used to treat the area.
  • The subject is allergic to gold.
  • The subject has an unrealistic expectation of the results: this is not plastic surgery, and all subjects should be fully informed of the treatment's expected results.
  • The subject has nerve insensitivity to heat in the treatment area or in the neutral pad placement area.
  • The subject has severe laxity or sagging that causes redundant folds of tissue or hanging skin in the area to be treated: this treatment will be ineffective.
  • The subject has used Accutane (isotretinoin) six to twelve months prior to treatment, as this can thin the skin and make it brittle.
  • The subject is taking aspirin or are currently taking antiplatelets, thrombolytics, anti- inflammatories or anticoagulants.
  • The subject has a history of bleeding coagulopathies.
  • The subject is allergic to topical anesthetic.

  • The subject has any of the following conditions:

    • Diabetes
    • Epilepsy
    • Autoimmune disease
    • Herpes simplex
    • HIV
    • Hypertension
    • Dermatitis
  • The subject has keloid formation propensity.
  • Subjects with electronic implants such as cardiac defibrillator. It may interfere with operation of electronic implants or damage the implants, causing risks.
  • The subject has any condition or is in a situation which in the investigator's opinion may put the subject at significant risk, may confound study results or may interfere.

significantly with the subject's participation.
