About this study

Up to 10 subjects will be enrolled at up to 3 study centers. Subjects will receive 2 biopsies, 1 biopsy in the treatment area (the flanks) and 1 biopsy outside of the treatment area to serve as a control.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Subject has completed their participation in the CYN20-FIRM-LIPO study.

Exclusion criteria

  • The subject has not had any other treatment in the treatment area after their involvement in the CYN20-FIRM-LIPO study.
  • The subject has any condition or is in a situation which in the investigators opinion may put the subject at significant risk, may confound study results or may interfere significantly with the subject's participation.

Treatment and study plan

TempSure treatment

Device

Self-controlled, single-arm study using the TempSure device.

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Treatment Samples With Different Levels of Elastin When Compared to Baseline Samples From the Same Patient

    Time frame: 1 Week (7-10 days) Post Baseline

    Sections of skin were removed using the punch biopsy technique to render a microscopic diagnosis. Each specimen was preserved with a fixative and then stained using Hemotoxylin & Eosin, Verhoeff and Masson Red/Fast Green and/or nitroblue tetrazolium chloride (NBTC) staining methods. If using Hemotoxylin & Eosin, Verhoeff and Masson Red/Fast Green staining, samples were assessed and evaluated by the amount of elastin. If using NBTC staining, samples were assessed and evaluated to differentiate between the blue-stained viable cells and the unstained thermally damaged cells. The samples were examined by a qualified pathologist. The visual changes between the treated samples and the control samples were examined, with no typical unit of measure used to quantify the difference. Simply, control and treatment images were compared to each other with a qualitative analysis of the changes. The number of samples with different levels of elastin (control compared to treatment) is reported.

  2. Number of Treatment Samples With Different Levels of Dermis Collagen When Compared to Baseline Samples Taken From the Same Patient

    Time frame: 1 Week (7-10 days) Post Baseline

If using Hemotoxylin & Eosin, Verhoeff and Masson Red/Fast Green staining, samples were assessed and evaluated by the amount of collagen.
