Device for Improving Skin Quality and Texture on the Face and Neck

September 15, 2025 updated by: BTL Industries Ltd.

Evaluation of Safety and Efficacy of the BTL-785F Device for Improvement in Skin Quality and Texture on Face and Neck

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of the BTL-785F device (with BTL-785-4-4 tip on BTL-785-4 applicator) on the improvement of skin quality and texture on the face and neck in healthy adult volunteers. The main question it aims to answer is:

Whether the BTL-785F device (with BTL-785-4-4 tip on BTL-785-4 applicator) is able to improve skin quality 3 months post-treatment, as assessed by two-dimensional and three-dimensional photographs.

Participants will complete three treatments, and two follow-up visits.

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 study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the BTL-785F system equipped with the BTL-785-4-4 tip on BTL-785-4 applicator for the improvement of skin quality and texture on the face and neck. It is a prospective, multi-center, open label, one-arm study.

Subjects will be required to complete three (3) treatment visits and two (2) follow-up visits (at 1 month, 3 months post-treatment).

At baseline, inclusion and exclusion criteria will be verified upon obtaining informed consent from the patient. 2D and 3D photographs of the subjects will be taken.

The treatment administration phase consists of three (3) treatment visits, delivered 2 - 6 weeks apart, after the complete healing of scabs. Before the second and third treatment, 2D and 3D photographs will be taken. After each treatment, subjects will be asked to fill in the Therapy Comfort Questionnaire for the assessement of subjects' comfort during the treatments. After the last treament, subjects will receive Subject Satisfaction Questionnaire to record subjects' satisfaction with the treatment results.

At both follow-up visits, subjects will receive Subject Satisfaction Questionnaire to fill in, and 2D and 3D photographs will be taken.

Safety measures will include documentation of adverse events (AE) during and after the treatment procedures and at the follow-up visits, and if needed medical assistance.

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.

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
Skin Quality Improvement Assessment
Time Frame: 12 months
The primary efficacy outcome measure is aesthetic improvement 3 months post-treatment, assessed using 2D photographs on the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS), as well as the degree of clinical improvement determined by automated analysis of 3D photographs using the 3D analysis device's software. Improvement is considered an increase in the GAIS score, as well as in the score determined by the 3D analysis device's software.
12 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
Comfort Assessed by Therapy Comfort Questionnaire
Time Frame: 12 months
The 5-point Likert scale Therapy Comfort questionnaire will be used for evaluating the comfort during the treatment sessions. The Therapy Comfort questionnaire will be given to subjects after each treatment.
12 months
Incidence of Treatment-related Adverse Events
Time Frame: 12 months
To evaluate the safety of the BTL-785F device with the BTL-785-4-4 tip on the BTL-785-4 applicator for the improvement of skin quality and texture through monitoring of adverse reactions.
12 months
Satisfaction Assessed by the Subject Satisfaction Questionnaire
Time Frame: 12 months
The 5-point Likert scale Subject Satisfaction Questionnaire will be used for the evaluation of satisfaction. The Subject Satisfaction Questionnaire will be given to subjects after the last treatment, at 1-month and 3-month follow-up. The answers to the questions related to the subjects' skin quality and overall facial appearance will vary from "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree".
