简要总结
The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy and usage compliance of the home-use device nebulyft for self-treatment of wrinkles appearance. The participants do treatment 5 time /week and last 4 weeks. Each treatment takes 16min to complete. Photographs will be taken before treatment and 1 month after the completion of treatment to compare the wrinkle scale.
详细描述
This is a single-arm prospective study aimed at evaluating the safety and efficacy of nebulyft device treatment of facial areas. Nebulyft device is a low-power, radio frequency device designed to reduce facial wrinkles. 42 subjects will be enrolled in a single clinical site.
The included subjects will use the device at specified areas, including the cheek (for nasolabial fold lines), and outer eye corners (for crow's feet lines). Each side of the nasolabial fold receives 4 minutes of treatment, and each outer eye corner receives 4 minutes of treatment too. The total time for each treatment is 16 minutes. The study consists of at least five wrinkle reduction treatments a week at home for four consecutive weeks. The first treatment session will be conducted under the supervision of the principal investigator (PI), and the remaining sessions will be conducted at home, with remote assistance from the PI when necessary.
A Self-selection and Labeling Comprehension study will be conducted that includes three main questions regarding the intended use of the device, treatment areas, and the possibility of using the device according to the contraindications.
A usability study will be conducted as part of the clinical study. The study was divided into several steps. The PI must observe the test subject to ensure compliance with all the procedures.
In the first visit, the independent treatment for wrinkle reduction was performed under the investigator's observation. Patients were asked to rate the pain level and note any problems/difficulties during the treatments.

结局指标
主要结局
wrinkle improvement at least one score point of Fitzpatrick wrinkle scale
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks
Three independent board-certified dermatologists assess patient photographs taken at baseline (before treatment initiation) and compare them to those captured one month after completing the home-based treatment using the Fitzpatrick wrinkle scale, which ranges from 1 (least wrinkles) to 9 (most wrinkles). A treatment is considered successful if at least two of the three evaluators observe reduction of at least one score-point in any of the treated areas; otherwise, it is deemed a failure.
次要结局
- subjective wrinkle improvement in wrinkle appearance as measured by satisfactory questionnaires(From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks)
