Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clinical Evaluation of Fractional Radiofrequency for the Treatment and Reduction of Facial Wrinkles (NCT NCT03831477)

NCT ID: NCT03831477

Last Updated: 2023-09-06

Results Overview

Change in facial wrinkles at 12 weeks post-treatment compared to baseline as assessed by blinded evaluators by photographic assessment utilizing the 9-point Fitzpatrick Wrinkle and Elastosis Scale (FWES). Scores of 1-3 indicate fine wrinkles with mild elastosis, scores 4-6 fine to moderate depth wrinkles with moderate elastosis and 7-9 fine to deep wrinkles with severe elastosis.
