Filter by:Evaluate if there is a correlation between efficacy results and where the Thermal Coagulation Points (TCPs) produced during a treatment with the Ulthera System make contact with anatomical layers of the skin and underlying tissues.
This is a prospective, multi-center, pilot study evaluating effectiveness of micro-excisional skin remodeling by micro-coring skin in subjects meeting the Inclusion Criteria. Subjects will undergo bilateral treatment on the face and neck (upper and lower cheek, upper and lower lip, periocular and perioral areas, submandibular and middle neck, etc). The exact treatment area(s), choice of treatment density are left to the Investigator's discretion and subject's consent. Up to 3 treatments are allowed with a minimum of 30-day between the consecutive treatments.
Study evaluating the effectiveness of a micro-coring device for the treatment of moderate to severe cheek wrinkles.
To evaluate the effect of the Ulthera® system for facial laxity and sagging skin
The Genius system is substantially equivalent to the Infini device (K121481). The study is a prospective, multi-site, non-randomized study of up to 30 treated subjects presenting for treatment of mild to moderate lines, wrinkles, textural concerns, and/or skin laxity of the neck.
The human skin aging process is characterized by thinning dermis, atrophy of the extracellular matrix, and reduced collagen synthesis. Loss of collagen in the dermis is of aesthetic concern, as it is the main structural support in the dermis and its loss results in skin laxity. Photo-damaged skin, mostly due to UVR, causes degradation of elastic fibers. This is histologically seen as disorganized tangles of elastin. Additionally, as humans age, skin tends to appear more dry due to its poor hydration and turgor capacity. The use of minimally invasive aesthetic treatments in reducing signs of aging has been gaining in popularity over surgical treatments in recent years. Several energy types including, laser, radiofrequency, infrared, and ultrasound, have been developed for facial rejuvenation. These treatments induce controlled thermal damage into the dermis and cause collagen contraction and neocollagenesis resulting in skin tightening over several months. For improving appearance of other anatomical areas, micro-focused ultrasound has been the preferred method, but has shown limited success in tightening the suprapatellar skin. As with facial skin aging, the suprapatellar skin loses elasticity with age and begins to sag. Noninvasive treatments used for the face may also be used in other anatomical areas to produce the same effects of tightening. Minimally invasive bipolar radiofrequency produces a controlled thermal injury in a fractional manner without damaging the dermal-epidermal junction, epidermis or subcutis. Radiofrequency, unlike lasers, are chromophore-independent providing better penetration than lasers, and spare sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and hair follicles.
All subjects will receive three, single-sided injections of PLLA, performed 1 month apart.
The main purpose of this study is to define the complex genetic and pathogenic basis of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) and other forms of aortopathy and/or aortic valve disease by identifying novel disease-causing genes and by identifying important genetic modifiers for aortic and aortic valve disease severity.
To evaluate the Ulthera® System for lifting submental (under the chin) and neck tissue in Chinese patients
This protocol will evaluate THERMIeyes® for its ability to treat periorbital skin laxity and wrinkles and monitor ocular surface changes and their effect on evaporative dry eye associated with MGD.
