Clinical Trial Summary

This proof of concept study is being conducted over the course of 60 days followed by a 3-month post-treatment visit to assess the efficacy and tolerability of the Sponsor's SkinPen device when used to treat men and women with signs of aging on the dorsum of the hands. Overall assessment of clinical outcome and safety will be based on the evaluation of pre-and post-treatment photos comparing baseline to final visit. The subject's assessment of satisfaction will also be evaluated at Visit 3 and Visit 4. Finally, both the clinician's and subject's assessments will be characterized using a clinician assessment scale at the 3-month post-treatment visit.


Description:

A total of 18 subjects will be enrolled in this study. These patients will be treated three times over the dorsum of the hand from the wrist to the knuckles each month for three months, followed by one follow-up visit at 3-months post-treatment. Blueberry and Crown Laboratories will be responsible for recruitment efforts. Subjects will be numbered sequentially in the order in which they qualify for entry into the study. 3.2 Primary Endpoints • Clinician's global aesthetic improvement assessment (CGAIS) at 3-months post-treatment. 3.3 Secondary Endpoints - Subject's global aesthetic improvement assessment (SGAIS) at 3-months post-treatment. - Monitoring of adverse events throughout the course of the study. Safety Subject diaries will be monitored for resolution of anticipated treatment responses. 3.4 Exploratory Endpoints • Bioinstrumentation: TEWL, hydration, elasticity, skin thickness measurements at each visit.

Age group 50 Years to 75 Years
Eligibility Inclusion Criteria: - Men and women 50 to 75 years of age in general good health. - Individuals deemed by the Investigator, visually, to have signs of hand aging (presence of skin laxity, age spots, trophic changes) on the dorsum of the hand. Also, Subjects would have to be willing to undergo correction of these signs of aging. - Individuals willing to withhold aesthetic therapies to the areas of the hand being treated or judged to potentially impact results by the Investigator (e.g. soft tissue fillers and/or any resurfacing procedures, botulinum toxin, injectable fillers, microdermabrasion, IPL (intense pulsed light), peels, laser treatments, and tightening treatments, etc.) for the duration of the study. Waxing and threading is allowed but not laser hair removal. - Individuals that are willing to provide written informed consent. - Individuals willing to sign a photography release. - Willingness to cooperate and participate by following study requirements for the duration of the study and to report any changes in health status or medications, adverse event symptoms, or reactions immediately. - Women of childbearing potential agree to take a urine pregnancy test at the Baseline visit and 3-months post-treatment or when deemed by Investigator and/or Sponsor. This may be changed to a monthly pregnancy test at the Sponsor's discretion. Women who are of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test result and must not be lactating at the baseline visit. Women must be willing and able to use an acceptable method of birth control (e.g. barrier methods used with a spermicidal agent, hormonal methods, IUD, surgical sterilization, abstinence) during the study. Women will not be considered of childbearing potential if one of the following conditions is documented on the medical history: - Postmenopausal for at least 12 months prior to study. - Without a uterus and/or both ovaries. - Bilateral tubal ligation at least 6 months prior to study enrollment - Exclusion Criteria: - Individuals diagnosed with known allergies to general skin care products. - Individuals who have presence of an active systemic or local skin disease that may affect wound healing. - Individuals with sensitivity to topical lidocaine. - Individuals who have physical or psychological conditions unacceptable to the Investigator. - Individuals who have a recent history of significant trauma to the areas to be treated (< 6 months). - Individuals who have significant scarring in the area(s) to be treated. - Individuals who have a recent or current history of inflammatory skin disease, infection or unhealed wound. - Individuals who have a history of systemic granulomatous diseases, active or inactive, (e.g. Sarcoid, Wegeners, TB, etc.) or connective tissue diseases (e.g. lupus, dermatomyositis, etc.). - Individuals who currently have or have a history of hypertrophic scars, or keloid scars. - Individuals who currently have cancerous or pre-cancerous lesions in the areas to be treated and/or with a history of skin cancer. - Individuals who have the inability to understand instructions or to give informed consent. - Individuals who have had microdermabrasion or glycolic acid treatment to the treatment area(s) within one month prior to study participation or who will have this treatment during the study. - Individuals who have a history of chronic drug or alcohol abuse. - Individuals undergoing concurrent therapy that, in the Investigator's opinion, would interfere with the evaluation of the safety or efficacy of the study device. - Individuals who, in the Investigator's opinion, have a history of poor cooperation, noncompliance with medical treatment, or unreliability. - Individuals who are current smokers. - Individuals who have a history of the following cosmetic treatments in the area(s) to be treated: - Skin tightening procedure within the past year; - Injectable filler of any type within the past: - 12 months for Hyaluronic acid fillers (e.g. Restylane) - 12 months for Ca Hydroxyapatite fillers (e.g. Radiesse) - 24 months for Poly-L-Lactic acid fillers (e.g. Sculptra) - Ever for permanent fillers (e.g. Silicone, ArteFill) - Ablative resurfacing laser treatment; - Non-ablative, rejuvenative laser or light treatment within the past six months; - Surgical dermabrasion; - Had a chemical peel or dermabrasion, of the dorsum of the hand within four weeks - Individuals with a history of using the following prescription medications: - Accutane or other systemic retinoids within the past six months; - Topical Retinoids within the past two weeks; - Prescription strength skin lightening devices (e.g. hydroquinone, tretinoin, AHA, BHA and polyhydroxy acids, 4-hydroxyanisole alone or in combination with tretinoin, etc.) within four months; - Any anti-wrinkle, skin lightening devices, or any other device or topical or systemic medication known to affect skin aging or dyshcromia (devices containing alpha/beta/poly-hydroxy acids, vitamin C, soy, Q-10, hydroquinone; systemic or licorice extract (topically), Tego® Cosmo C250, gigawhite, lemon juice extract (topically), emblica extract, etc.) within two weeks; - Antiplatelet agents/Anticoagulants (Coumadin, Heparin, Plavix, chronic NSAID use); and/or - Psychiatric drugs that in the Investigator's opinion would impair the subject from understanding the protocol requirements or understanding and signing the informed consent. - Individuals who are nursing, pregnant, or planning to become pregnant during the study according to subject self-report. - Individuals having a health condition and/or pre-existing or dormant dermatologic disease on the body (e.g., psoriasis, rosacea, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, vitiligo, hyper or hypo-skin pigmentation conditions such as post inflammatory hyperpigmentation) that the Investigator or designee deems inappropriate for participation or could interfere with the outcome of the study. - Individuals with a history of immunosuppression/immune deficiency disorders (including HIV infection or AIDS) or currently using immunosuppressive medications (e.g., azathioprine, belimumab, cyclophosphamide, Enbrel, Imuran, Humira, mycophenolate mofetil, methotrexate, prednisone, Remicade, Stelara.) and/or radiation as determined by study documentation. - Individuals with an uncontrolled disease such as asthma, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, medically significant hypertension or hypothyroidism.

Intervention

Device:
SkinPen Precision System
Microneedling is a relatively new, minimally invasive technique originally developed for skin rejuvenation. Controlled micro-injury to the dermis via the application of several small needles connected to a motorized device stimulates the wound healing process, resulting in the formation of new tissue and blood vessels. The SkinPen by Crown Laboratories is an FDA-cleared microneedling device proven to improve the appearance of acne scars This study evaluates the clinical performance of the SkinPen device for the treatment of signs of aging on the back of the hand. We hypothesize that the SkinPen device will produce a significant improvement in dorsal hand appearance at 3 month post treatment visit, when compared with baseline scores. The assessments will be based on the Clinician's Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale, and the Subject's Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale at the 3 month post treatment visit.
