The PREFORM Study: Rotational Fractional Resection for Submental Contouring

Recros Medica, Inc.2 enrolled

Overview

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of rotational fractional resection (RFR) to improve neck contouring. Rotational fractional resection is used to remove loose skin and fat.

This is a prospective, single-center, single-arm (non-randomized), interventional cohort, non-significant risk (NSR) study designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of Rotational Fractional Resection (skin resection and focal lipectomy) in patients with moderate to severe submental skin laxity. The total duration of study participation for each subject is approximately up to 4 months for each subject from the screening visit to the exit visit. The follow-up period will be approximately 3 months after the procedure. Eligible subjects will complete a total of 11 study visits: screening, procedure, and follow-up visits at 1, 4, 7, 14, 21, 30, 45, 60, and 90 days post-procedure.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Number of Participants Who Had at Least One Grade Improvement on the Submental Skin Laxity Scale

Physician investigator rated the submental laxity using the Submental Skin Laxity scale (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, 4 = very severe)

Time frame: 90 days post treatment

Secondary Outcomes

Number of Participants Who Were Satisfied With the Appearance of Their Neck and Jawline

Subjects rated their satisfaction of the appearance of their neck and jawline on a Subject Satisfaction Questionnaire. Results reflect subjects who were satisfied ("somewhat satisfied," "satisfied," or "very satisfied").

Time frame: 90 days post treatment

Number of Participants With a One Grade Improvement on the Submental Lipodystrophy Scale

Comparison of the submental fat before and after procedure using the Submental Skin Lipodystrophy scale (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, 4 = very severe)

Time frame: 90 days post treatment
