Safety And Efficacy Investigation Of The Effects Of ClearLift Q-Switched Nd:Yag 1064nm Laser Module In The Treatment Of Facial Skin Wrinkles
- Conditions
- Facial Skin Wrinkles
- Interventions
- Device: Alma Harmony
- Registration Number
- NCT06349096
- Lead Sponsor
- Alma Lasers
- Brief Summary
Alma Lasers ClearLift is a fractional non-ablative Q-Switched laser, allowing practitioners to use the benefits of a high intensity QS laser for the treatment of aged skin. Alma Harmony ClearLift uses a fractional QS laser to achieve a deep mechanical effect beneath the epidermis via a photoacustic effect. This creates a controlled dermal wound while leaving the epidermis intact. The wound healing process stimulates growth of new collagen, skin contracture and tightening. This procedure is virtually painless with no downtime and is safe for all skin types.
Based on this background, we have considered an interest to design a study aimed at assessing the efficacy and safety of a treatment course with ClearLift Module in patients with facial skin wrinkles
