Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of the Treatment With Tixel C on Acne Scars
A Prospective Study With Blinded Assessment to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of the Tixel C Fractional System in the Treatment of Acne Scars
Study Overview
Detailed Description
44 participents between two research locations with moderate acne scars will receive 3-5 treatments sessions with the Tixel C device according to investigator's review of subject response. Improvement of acne scarring will ve evaluated at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months post treatment.
Post-treatment response will be evaluated as well as any incidence of side efects throughout the study.

- Microdermabrasion, or prescription level glycolic acid treatments within three months prior to study participation.
- Active HSV-1. May be enrolled only after a prophylactic regime has been followed prior to treatment and according to the Investigator's discretion.
- History of keloid formation.
- Permanent facial implant over area of treatment.
- Injectable filler in area to be treated within nine months of investigation.

- History of autoimmune disease.
- History of any disease that inhibits pain sensation.
- History of Diabetes I or II.

- Subjects who, in the Investigator's opinion, have a history of poor cooperation, non-compliance with medical treatment or unreliability.
- Enrollment in any active study involving the use of investigational devices or drugs who in the Investigator's opinion would interfere with the evaluation of the current investigative device.
- Any other contraindication stated in the guidance documents of the treatment device.
- Any existing skin disease that in the investigator's opinion would interfere with the evaluation of the safety of the study treatment and any other cause per the principal investigator's discretion.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Tixel C
Tixel Treatment, between 3-5 treatment session according to investigator's review of subject response follow by 3 Follow up sessions, 1,3 and 6 month after last treatment visit.
Subject would be questioned about pain levvel, subjective dountime assessment and subjective response assessment.
Images would be taken before treatment visit and in Follow-Up.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Safety Adverse Events report
Time Frame: up to 12 months
|
Safety of the investigational device shall be assessed via quantification of the incidence of devicerelated/non-related undesired effects, which shall be documented and reported as an Adverse Event (AE) or as a Serious Adverse Event (SAE).
Known undesired effects may be any of the list stated in the previous paragraph of Expected Possible Side Effects, or any other undesired effect, not described in the said list.
The incidence of the device related undesired effects should be analyzed considering severity, causal relation to the investigational device and duration, whether it is transient or permanent.

Effectiveness using Goodman and Baron Assessment scale
Time Frame: up to 12 months; Improvement between last follow up and baseline (before first treatment)
|
Before starting therapy and at one and six months follow up visits, the subjects shall be photographed using clinical photography equipment. The images shall be evaluated by blinded raters. The evaluation shall be performed by three raters. The scores shall be analyzed according to the statistical plan of the study. Scale between 1-4; 1 = Macular, 4= Severe |
up to 12 months; Improvement between last follow up and baseline (before first treatment)
