About this study

Official title: Combining Broad Based Light, Fractionated 1927 and Dual Wavelength 2940/1470 for Diffuse Pigmentation, Texture and Actinic Changes

This is a single-site, non-randomized, non-controlled study at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas in the Department of Plastic Surgery. The study is designed to follow up to 15 consenting subjects who may receive up to 2 BBL/MOXI/HALO treatments under an IRB approved protocol.

Read the detailed description

Subjects will receive 1-2 BBL/MOXI/HALO treatments. All 2nd treatments will be scheduled 4-8 weeks after the initial treatment to ensure the skin has enough time to recover. Overall assessments will be collected before the first treatment and at subsequent follow-up visits at 1 Month and 3 Months post final treatment. Identifiable full-face standard and close-up photography will be obtained and used to evaluate any changes. Subjects will also have photos obtained with the VISIA-CR Imaging System (Canfield Scientific, Parsippany, NJ). Quantitative analysis will be completed on the VISIA imaging system and be used to compare the effects of the treatments. Any improvements will be evaluated to pre-treatment assessments.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sciton Joule System in people with Pigment Skin, run by University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center 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 14 inclusion and 34 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 27 Jan 2026. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Jan 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change in Brown Spots at 1 Month From Baseline (Single Treatment Group) (time frame: Baseline, 1 Month). The study lists 32 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 27 Jan 2026.
