Study Overview
Brief Summary
The intended use of the Alexandrite laser device used in this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the Alexandrite laser device for the treatment of acne scars on skin types V and VI.
Detailed Description
Subjects are to be enrolled in this clinical study if they are 18-65 years old. A maximum of 25 subjects will be enrolled at 1 study center. Subjects will receive up to 6 treatments (minimum of 4 treatment visits with an optional 5th and 6th treatment) on the face. Subjects will return for follow up visits at 30 and 90 days post last treatment. All subjects will receive a phone call 1 week after each treatment.

Arms & Interventions
Alexandrite Laser
Experimental
Single arm, self-controlled
Intervention: Experimental: RF Device Arm (Device)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Photographic Evaluation of Changes in Treatment Areas
Time Frame: Baseline and 90 day follow up
Photographic evaluation with ECCA (échelle d'évaluation clinique des cicatrices d'acné) grading comparing pre-treatment images to the 90 day follow up images performed by independent reviewers. This scale gives higher scores based on the number of scars, with the description of the scars determining the weighting factor. The scale ranges from 0 to 540, with a lower score meaning less severe scarring.
Secondary Outcomes
- Subject satisfaction(90 day follow up)
- Photographic Evaluation of Treatment Areas(Baseline and 30 day follow up)
- Blinded evaluation of pre-treatment images vs. follow up images to determine which image is which(Baseline and 90 day follow up)
- Subject assessment using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (SGAIS)(Baseline and 90 day follow up)
- Principle Investigator assessment using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (PGAIS)(Baseline and 90 day follow up)
- Blinded evaluation of pre-treatment images vs. follow up images to determine which image is which(Baseline and 30 day follow up)
- Principle Investigator assessment using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (PGAIS)(Baseline and 30 day follow up)
- Subject assessment using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (SGAIS)(Baseline and 30 day follow up)
- Subject satisfaction(30 day follow up)
