This is a prospective, multi-center, multi-phase, evaluator-blinded study of subjects undergoing a procedure with the Renuvion APR Device to improve the appearance of lax tissue in the neck and submental region.
This is a prospective, multi-center, multi-phase, evaluator-blinded study of subjects undergoing a procedure to improve the appearance of lax tissue in the neck and submental region. All study subjects will be treated with the Renuvion APR Device. Phase I (n=17) of this study will be conducted primarily to provide safety data, however, effectiveness data will also be collected at the above stated timepoints through 6 months post-procedure. Phase II (n=65) of this study is the expansion of the study to a pivotal study.

The Renuvion APR Handpiece is a sterile, single use electrosurgical (monopolar) device intended to be used in conjunction with compatible generators for the percutaneous delivery of radiofrequency energy and/or helium plasma for cutting, coagulation and ablation of soft tissue. Radiofrequency energy is delivered to the handpiece by the generator and used to energize the electrode. When helium gas is passed over the energized electrode, a helium plasma is generated for soft tissue cutting, coagulation or ablation. The Renuvion APR Handpiece has a non-extendable electrode to generate helium plasma.

Day 180 Number of Participants With Improvement Measured By Independent Photographic Review
Improvement in the appearance of lax tissue in the neck and submental region at 6 months as determined by qualitative 2D photography assessment by blinded Independent Photographic Reviewers. Three experienced, blinded photographic reviewers performed a qualitative analysis/review of the pre-treatment and post-treatment sets of images of each subject in a blinded and randomized order. Each blinded reviewer chose which image was the post-treatment image. Success was correct post-treatment image selection by at least 2 of the 3 reviewers. The percentage of subjects with a correct post-treatment image selection was calculated.
Time frame: 180-Day
Subject Reported Pain - None to Moderate
The primary safety endpoint is the level of pain and discomfort after treatment as reported by the subject on an 11-point Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) through the 7-day follow-up visit where 0 is no pain and 10 is the most pain. Pain scores are classified as scores of 0 being no pain, 1 - 5 is minor pain, 6 - 7 is moderate pain, and 8 - 10 is severe pain. The primary safety objective is to demonstrate that the proportion of subjects with none-to- moderate pain exceeds the performance goal (PG). The performance goal is 55%.
Time frame: Day 7
