Study summary

This is a prospective, multi-site, non-randomized study evaluating the safety and effectiveness of the Infini and LaseMD Systems for combination treatment in wrinkles, texture, and pigmentation of the face and/or neck.

Read the detailed description

Enrolled subjects will receive three (3) face and/or neck treatments provided 30 days apart. During each treatment subjects will receive both Infini and LaseMD treatments. Treatments will be provided according to a protocol-specific treatment protocol in which an Infini treatment will be provided first, followed by a LaseMD treatment. A telephone contact will be completed at 3 days following each treatment to assess for adverse events. One follow-up visit will be conducted at 90 days following the last study treatment. Outcome measures include clinician grading and subject satisfaction post-treatment. Pre-treatment study photographs and D90 study photographs will be obtained.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(8)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Washout period

A planned gap after a treatment, so that its effects can lessen before the study treatment or a study assessment. Ask the study team and the doctor who prescribed it before changing any medicine.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Masked, qualitative assessment of improvement

    An assessment of paired pre- and post-treatment photographs will be conducted by blinded assessors. Each blinded assessor will be given an identical set of baseline (pre-treatment) and Day 90 follow-up photos to be assessed. Each photo's visit interval, i.e., pre-treatment and follow-up, will NOT be marked. Each blinded assessor will conduct their assessment independently, comparing the Left and Right photos for improvement in the face and/or neck using the following definition: * Change: An improvement that is: * Striking, substantial and immediately noticeable, or * Readily apparent but modest in nature * Slight and subtle in nature, may require close examination The assessor chooses the photo they believe to be the post-treatment photo, i.e., Left photo or Right photo.

    Time frame: 90 days following the last study treatment

Secondary outcomes

  1. Clinician assessment of overall aesthetic improvement

    Overall aesthetic improvement based on completion of the Clinician Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale, a scale that rates global aesthetic improvement from the pretreatment appearance using the following definitions: 1. = Improved: Improvement in appearance from initial condition 2. = No Change: The appearance is essentially the same as the original condition 3. = Worse: The appearance is worse than the original condition The scale will be administered based on a live assessment of the subject while referring to the subject's pre-treatment photographs, and based on a comparison of the subject's pre-treatment photographs to the Day 90 follow-up photographs.

    Time frame: 90 days following the last treatment.

  2. Subject assessment of overall aesthetic improvement

    Overall aesthetic improvement based on completion of the Subject Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale, a scale that rates global aesthetic improvement from the pretreatment appearance using the following definitions: 1. = Improved: Improvement in appearance from initial condition 2. = No Change: The appearance is essentially the same as the original condition 3. = Worse: The appearance is worse than the original condition Subjects will complete the scale based on a live assessment while referring to a hand mirror and their pre-treatment photographs, and based on a comparison of their pre-treatment photographs to their Day 90 follow-up photographs.

    Time frame: 90 days following the last treatment.

  3. Patient Satisfaction

    Patient satisfaction will be evaluated based on subjects' completion of a patient satisfaction questionnaire while referring to a hand mirror and their pre-treatment photographs and their Day 90 follow-up photographs. Subjects will be asked to document Yes/No as to whether they notice any improvement in how their treated skin areas look; specify any changes they see in the treated areas, e.g., skin texture improvement, skin tone improvement, skin pigmentation improvement, etc.; characterize their level of satisfaction with study treatment based on 5 levels of satisfaction: Very satisfied, Satisfied, Slightly Satisfied, Neither Satisfied or Dissatisfied, Dissatisfied; document Yes/No if they would recommend the treatment to friends and family members.

    Time frame: 90 days following study treatment

  4. Treatment-related pain

    During study treatments, subjects' pain levels will be monitored using a validated Numeric Rating Scale (0-10), with 0 being 'No Pain' and 10 being the 'Worst Possible Pain'.

    Time frame: For the duration of each study treatment

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 23, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
