Filter by:The primary objective of this pilot study is exploratory investigation evaluating the Potenza microneedle fractional radiofrequency (RF) device and may be used in combination with the Icon intense pulsed light (IPL) device.
Subjects are to be enrolled in this clinical study if they are 18 - 55 years old. Up to 120 subjects will be enrolled at multiple study centers. Subjects may receive up to 5 treatments for a wide array of dermatologic conditions in which electrocoagulation and hemostasis is a viable mechanism for means of improvement.
This study aims to explore the effects of fractional Radiofrecuency (RF), as well as demonstrate the performance of the new semi-ablative radiofrequency model in the treatment of stretch marks. This research is a randomized, controlled clinical trial where 32 female patients complaining of glutes and / or abdomen striations. The participants were divided into two equal groups, G1 and G2. G1 will be treated at 30-day intervals, and subdivided into 2 subgroups: G1A, 8 patients with striations in the abdomen; and G1B, 8 patients with gluteal striations. The G1A and G1B groups will be divided into 2 subgroups of 4 people each, where one group will be treated with Fractional RF associated to drug delivery, and the other group, with only Fractional RF, without the application of drug delivery. The same rule of subdivisions will occur in G2, G2A and G2B, however, the interval between applications will be every 15 days. The treatment area will be divided into a rectangle 10cm high by 10cm wide. For evaluation, the contralateral side will be used as a control, using Photogrammetry and histological analysis as a resource, which will be collected through the punch skin fragment of the infraumbilical and gluteal region, performed by a specialized physician.
The purpose of this study is to clinically evaluate the efficacy, safety as well as patient satisfaction in the use of topical Centella asiatica (CA) on the cosmetic appearance of stretch marks.
This was a prospective randomized controlled study comparing the efficacy of micro-focused ultrasound when used in conjunction with 1550-nm erbium-doped fractionated laser versus 1550-nm erbium-doped fractionated laser alone for treatment of striae distensae(stretch marks). Each side of thigh (or abdomen) was randomized to receive 1550nm-fractionated laser treatment every 2 weeks for a total of 4 treatments on one side and the contralateral side received micro-focused ultrasound treatment and 1550nm-fractionated laser alternatively every 2 weeks for a total of 4 treatments with site-match control area of baseline striae on each side. The primary outcome measure by two dermatologists blindly compared the two areas of striae distensae on each side from live subjects using a questionnaire and quartile rating scale on the final follow-up visit. This study was a pilot study designed to determine the feasibility of these procedures.
This study aims to evaluate head-to-head the effectiveness of tretinoin 0.5% and superficial dermabrasion in subjects that have recent stretch marks.
The purpose of this investigation is to study the effectiveness of longer wavelength UVA1 (340-400nm) or shorter wavelength ultraviolet B [UVB] (290-320nm) irradiation in the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions (such as: atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, mycosis fungoides, alopecia areata, stretch marks and urticaria). This research study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an investigational device which is similar in appearance to a "tanning bed" but which emits ultraviolet irradiation of a specific wavelength known as UVA1. This device has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for general use in this country, as of yet, but it has been used quite successfully in Europe for several years in treating such conditions as scleroderma, atopic dermatitis, urticaria pigmentosa and other skin conditions. Instead of UVA1 therapy, patients may receive ultraviolet radiation of a specific wavelength known as UVB. UVA1 light is a longer wavelength and therefore a lower energy wavelength than UVB. UVB light is often the light associated with getting a sunburn since it has a higher level of energy. UVB light has been used successfully in the treatment of many skin conditions.
