Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the efficacy and safety of fractional 1064-nm picosecond laser for facial skin tightening. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Efficacy of fractional 1064-nm picosecond laser for facial skin efficacy including the changes in wrinkle, nasolabial fold, skin laxity, and skin elasticity - The changes in texture and pore volume using Antera - The changes in bioengineering assessment: melanin index, erythema index, sebum level - Adverse events Participants will be treated with 3 sessions of fractional 1064-nm picosecond laser (full face 4 passes, vector lines 4 passes), spaced 4 weeks apart. Follow-up visits 1, 3, and 6 months after the last treatments.

Description:

The efficacy and safety of fractional 1064-nm picosecond laser for facial skin tightening in participants aged 40 to 55 years, BMI < 25 kg/m2, and have mild to moderate facial laxity.
