31 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The intended use of the radiofrequency and microneedling devices used in this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of paired treatment for the treatment of facial aging.
To assess the efficacy and safety of the Skin stylus Sterilock microneedling system in reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles.This study is intended to be a single arm study. Suitable subjects who meet all inclusion criteria and consented will undergo 4 microneedling sessions at baseline and days 30, 60 and 90. Subjects will be assessed at days 90, 120 and finally at day 150 by a physician utilizing the wrinkle grading scale developed by Lemperle (2001) and skin laxity and texture using a modified Alexiandes Armenakas (2010) grading scale.
Perioral rhytides present a difficult problem in facial rejuvenation. They cannot be addressed with rhytidectomy (face lift) and direct excision can leave visible unfavorable scars. Currently, fine static wrinkles are most effectively treated with facial resurfacing, usually with laser treatment. Often the peri-oral area is treated with additional spot treatments with an ablative laser to cause a more robust healing response and better aesthtic result. To date, no studies have specifically shown efficacy of additional spot treatment over full facial laser alone. This study is designed as a split-face study, to compare the aesthetic results of full field laser resurfacing on one half of the face with that of spot treatment of perioral rhytides on the other half. To clarify further to the IRB board, this is not an experimental treatment. Spot treatment is used by many surgeons/laser proceduralists for addressing specific areas of the face. This is an FDA indicated use of the laser for facial resurfacing. Due to the many genetic and enviromental factors that can effect the results the best design for the study to is have each patient serve as their own control with a split-face study.
This study will assess the efficacy of Cellular MatrixTM BCT-HA Kit treatment compared to placebo condition on revitalization and skin rejuvenation on the midface. Particular attention will be made to the safety aspects, as well as the histological consequences of treatment.
This study will evaluate the efficacy of the DIME TBT Cream in improving the appearance and hydration of aged skin in comparison to a retinol cream. This study will last for 60 days. The study will be conducted as a single-arm trial in which all participants will use both the test product and the positive control product (0.1% Retinol Clinical Trial Lotion). Participants will be required to undertake questionnaires at Baseline, Day 30, and Day 60. Photos will be taken at Baseline, Day 30, and Day 60, and expert skin grading will take place at Baseline and Day 60.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are tested in-vitro to measure their lifting capacity, viscosity, cohesivity, and rheologic properties, and their lifting capacity has been tested in animal models. To date, there are no studies that measure the lifting capacity of fillers in an in-vivo human model. The intention is to study the lifting capacity of fillers in a group of patients by comparing pre and post-procedure two and three-dimensional photographs using analytic software. Specifically, the PI is interested in determining the amount of tissue elevation created by injecting HAs Restylane-Lyft®, and Restylane-L® (Galderma Laboratories, L.P., Fort Worth, TX) to the midface and to the lower face, both in the anterior-posterior direction and in the vertical direction by using analytic software. The research group has identified a reliable and reproducible quantitative assessment of midfacial position called WIZDOM (Width of the InterZygomatic Distance Of the Midface) to quantitatively evaluate the midface. It can be used as an objective tool to assess midfacial rejuvenation, whether with fat, fillers, or midface or facelift surgery. The Distance from WIZDOM to inner canthus, the WIZDOM -IC measurement increases with aging as the face deflates and descends, and, in the practice, is also a means of assessing the midface in youth and in aging. The PI's findings have been published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal. The practice will also attempt to utilize this metric as a measure of midface aesthetic lifting capacity. The practice will also employ 3 D photography and analytic software to determine degree of lift in mm in the y and z axis. (vertical and AP increase in dimension) pre and post- injection. (Vectra, Canfield, Fairfield, NJ) We will recruit patients from a population of subjects that generally would receive fillers to improve changes associated with facial volume loss and divide them in to two groups based on chronologic age.
The overall goal of this study is to develop regenerative cell therapy for use in female patients with aging skin. The primary objective of this proposal is to conduct a pilot study on the efficacy and safety of using PRP to treat this condition in females.
Purpura is a macule or papule of blood in the skin. It is mostly seen in mature skin that is often prone to significant bruising. Small lesions of less than 5 mm are called petechiae and larger ones, found mostly in subcutaneous tissue, are called ecchymosis. Actinic purpura occurs almost exclusively in elderly populations. This single-blind randomized clinical trial evaluates the effect of an 8-week nutritional supplement intervention in comparison with isolated vitamin C supplements on actinic purpura in older adults. We will enroll thirty (30) otherwise healthy participants, both male and female, aged 55 years and older. Changes in participants' skin condition will be assessed at visit 1 (baseline), visit 2 (4-week), and visit 3 (8-week) using questionnaires, standard digital photography, and clinical grading of the skin lesions.

This research study will test how well a light therapy mask works for women with mild to moderate hyperpigmentation (brown spots) and moderate to severe facial wrinkles, as compared to a "sham" or inactive investigational light therapy mask. The study will also test if the light therapy mask causes any irritation. For the first 12 weeks of the study, participants will use the assigned mask, along with a provided cleanser and sunscreen. For the second 12 weeks of the study, participants will use just the cleanser and sunscreen.
Soft tissue augmentation with injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) is a well-established modality for the correction of facial volume loss, fat atrophy, fine lines, and wrinkles. HA is a glycosaminoglycan that is composed of repeating D-glucuronic acid and D-N-acetylglucosamine disaccharide units. Because HA is a natural and inert constituent of the dermis, it represents an ideal substance for soft tissue augmentation. Current FDA-approved HA fillers are typically utilized to either directly target specific cutaneous rhytids or to restore overall contours by placement into fat pads or along bony structures that have remodeled with age. Restylane® Silk is a transparent injectable HA gel that received FDA approval in June 2014 for use in the lips and peri-oral region. Its unique synthesis results in smaller and finer particles that demonstrate significant hygroscopic properties and give rise to the potential for unique applications. One such application concerns the concept of "skin boosting" whereby microaliquots of HA are placed into the skin to induce biophysical improvement in dermal characteristics (1). Using this technique, a recent split-body study by Streker et al. demonstrated significant aesthetic improvements in face, hands and décolletage (2). However, there have been no well-controlled studies with validated aesthetic outcomes utilizing Restylane® Silk in this fashion to date. Because of the unique combination of ultra-fine product and high water-attracting capability, the investigators hypothesize that microinjections of Restylane® Silk can be used in a grid-like injection pattern for rejuvenation of the aging cheek.
