About this study

Official title: Dynamic Optical Coherence Tomography (D-OCT) Aging Study: A Preliminary Evaluation of Structural Differences Between Young and Aged Skin, Cellulite and Atrophic Acne Scars in Female Caucasian Subjects With Fitzpatrick Skin Types I-III Utilizing Non-invasive in Vivo D-OCT.

This single-center clinical study is being conducted over the course of 2 weeks to conduct an exploratory pilot study as a preliminary evaluation of D-OCT's ability to measure skin changes from aging. Assess structural differences between young and aged skin on the face. To identify the structural characteristics of atrophic acne scars relative to normal skin on the face. To explore characteristics of cellulite relative to normal skin on the thigh in young and aged skin.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Skin ImagingDevice

    Non-invasive in vivo skin imaging will be taken with the VivoSight D-OCT and the measurements will be acquired post-study utilizing VivoSight software.

  • Facial CleanserOther

    Also called SkinMedica® Facial Cleanser

    Participants will be instructed to remove all makeup from the face and cleanse the face with SkinMedica Facial Cleanser at least 15 minutes prior to investigator assessments and photography, and at least 30 minutes prior to use of D-OCT. Particiapnts in the cellulite group will have the thigh area cleansed with Facial Cleanser at least 15 minutes prior to photography and at least 30 minutes prior to use of D-OCT. For standardization, this procedure will be performed with SkinMedica Facial Cleanser (to remove makeup and cleanse the face and thigh (if applicable)) for all the participants.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Skin Care, run by Allergan at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Oct 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

VivoSight software measurements of Epidermal Thickness (time frame: Day 1). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Oct 2019.
