AnteAGE Biosomes With Radiofrequency Microneedling for Facial Skin Rejuvenation

September 24, 2026 updated by: Cellese Inc.

Clinical Evaluation of the Efficacy and Tolerability of AnteAGE Biosomes and Facial Radiofrequency Microneedling

This prospective, randomized controlled study evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of AnteAGE Biosome Solution used in conjunction with facial radiofrequency microneedling. Eligible participants with facial rhytids and/or uneven skin tone and texture were randomized 1:1 to an active treatment group or a control group. All participants underwent facial radiofrequency microneedling. Participants in the active group received AnteAGE Biosome Solution during treatment and an AnteAGE skincare regimen, while control participants received hyaluronic acid as the treatment glide and control skincare products. Clinical outcomes included standardized facial photography, investigator assessments, Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale assessments, participant-reported outcomes, and assessment of adverse reactions and post-procedure healing through Day 60.

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

Participants were randomized 2:1 to an active Biosome treatment group or a control group. All participants underwent one facial radiofrequency microneedling treatment using the Exion Fractional Radiofrequency device.

Participants assigned to the active group received AnteAGE Biosome Treatment Solution applied during the radiofrequency microneedling procedure. The solution was used as a topical glide and was reapplied as needed during treatment. Active participants subsequently used a study-supplied skincare regimen including cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, AnteAGE Biosome Serum and AnteAGE Serum/Accelerator homecare.

Participants assigned to the control group received hyaluronic acid as the topical glide during radiofrequency microneedling and subsequently used control cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen and control homecare.

Participants were evaluated at baseline/treatment and at follow-up visits on Days 1, 3, 7, 30 and 60. Assessments included adverse reactions, standardized facial photography using the VISIA imaging system, participant assessments of facial skin, investigator assessments, and Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale assessments. Selected participants also underwent skin biopsy collection for exploratory histological assessment.

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.

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

30 years to 70 years (Adult, Older Adult)

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
Post-Procedure Skin Reaction Severity
Time Frame: Days 1, 3, and 7 after treatment

Severity of post-procedure skin reactions assessed using a 5-point ordinal scale (0 = none, 1 = barely perceptible, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, 4 = severe). Assessed symptoms included erythema, swelling, ecchymosis, stinging/burning, dryness/peeling, pruritus, skin discoloration and treatment-site marks/device-related pinpoint bleeding.
Days 1, 3, and 7 after treatment
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
Time Frame: Baseline through Day 60

Number and proportion of participants experiencing adverse events following the radiofrequency microneedling procedure and study product application. Adverse events were assessed for severity and relationship to the device and/or topical study product.
Baseline through Day 60
Change in Investigator Facial Clinical Assessment
Time Frame: Baseline to Day 60

Change from baseline in investigator-assessed facial skin characteristics, including fine wrinkling, coarse wrinkling, erythema, discoloration and overall facial appearance. Each characteristic was scored using the protocol-defined 0-9 clinical assessment scale, with higher scores indicating greater severity.
Baseline to Day 60

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
Participant-Reported Facial Skin Improvement
Time Frame: Through Day 60

Participant perception of changes in facial skin was assessed using the protocol-defined questionnaire. Participants rated statements relating to skin radiance, overall appearance, hydration, skin feel, brightness, evenness of facial skin, fine lines and wrinkles, overall facial appearance, enjoyment of the products, confidence in their skin and compliments received while using the products. Responses were recorded using a 5-point Likert scale from Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree.
Through Day 60
Standardized Facial Imaging
Time Frame: Baseline through Day 60

Changes in facial skin appearance were evaluated using standardized VISIA facial imaging obtained at baseline and follow-up visits.
Baseline through Day 60
