Evaluation of Safety and Efficacy of Using Imagine™ Computerized Radiofrequency System for Skin Tightening
A study testing Endymion Imagine™ System for Skin Tightening in people with Skin Aging and Skin Wrinkling, run by Endymion Medical Ltd at 1 site in Israel.
Trial summary
Skin aging is a multifactorial process involving the 3 layers of the skin: Epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. Skin aging process involves among others: skin roughness (epidermis), skin dyschromia (epidermis, dermis), wrinkles and elastosis - skin texture changes due to collagen modification, skin laxity and cellulite… Read more about this study

About this study
Skin aging is a multifactorial process involving the 3 layers of the skin: Epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. Skin aging process involves among others: skin roughness (epidermis), skin dyschromia (epidermis, dermis), wrinkles and elastosis - skin texture changes due to collagen modification, skin laxity and cellulite (dermis and hypodermis).
EndyMion has developed the Imagine™ system - Computerized Radiofrequency System for Skin Tightening. By using a multielectrodes treatment tip an exact computerized thermal pattern can be produced allowing to selectively heating one or more of the target tissues (epidermis, dermis and hypodermis). In the skin tightening module the dermis and hypodermis would be targeted, creating enough thermal effect to induce collagen remodeling with no ablative thermal damage in the epidermis or dermis. This post marketing study is intended for evaluation of safety and efficacy of the Imagine™ system.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Endymion Imagine™ System for Skin TighteningDevice
Based on patient skin type and area of treatment the physician will choose the following parameters (some parameters are fixed):
- Pulse energy (J);
- RF frequency (1MHz);
- Pulse duration (30 sec);
- Treatment hand piece (skin tightening);
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Endymion study group | Experimental | Not described Receives: Device: Endymion Imagine™ System for Skin Tightening |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The safety of using the Imagine™ System for skin tightening will be established by physician's assessment/observation of adverse events (signs of pain, skin texture alterations or burn).
Measured: 3 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Efficacy endpoint of using the Imagine™ System for skin tightening will be established by level of skin tightness improvement.
Measured: 3 months
