Study summary

The purpose of this study is to find out whether a single treatment with the DENSITY radiofrequency device improves facial skin laxity (sagging), skin texture, and pore appearance in adult women, and whether the treatment is safe and well tolerated.

The DENSITY device delivers radiofrequency energy to the skin in two modes, one after the other: monopolar mode, which heats deeper layers of the skin, and bipolar mode, which heats more superficial layers. Heating the skin in this controlled way is intended to stimulate the body to produce new collagen, which may firm and smooth the skin over time.

Women aged 25 to 60 with mild to moderate facial skin laxity receive one treatment session to the face and neck at the first visit. They return for follow-up visits about 30 days and 90 days after treatment. At each visit, researchers take standardized 3D facial images, grade skin laxity and overall aesthetic improvement, and ask participants to complete questionnaires about how satisfied they are with their face and skin. Side effects such as redness, swelling, or discomfort are recorded throughout the study.

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

  • Does one DENSITY treatment improve skin texture, pore appearance, and facial contour, as measured by 3D imaging?
  • Do participants report greater satisfaction with their facial appearance and skin after treatment?
  • Is the treatment safe and well tolerated?
Read the detailed description

Background and rationale Facial aging involves changes across several skin layers, including loss and disorganization of collagen and elastin, thinning of the dermis, and changes in deeper soft tissue. These changes appear as skin laxity, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and uneven texture. Radiofrequency (RF) devices deliver controlled thermal energy to the dermis, causing immediate collagen contraction followed by new collagen formation and tissue remodeling. Conventional RF systems typically use a single mode and treat a single tissue depth, which may not address changes occurring in both superficial and deeper layers at the same time.

Monopolar RF produces broader, deeper volumetric heating, while bipolar RF produces more localized heating in superficial tissue. Delivering both modes sequentially in one session may stimulate remodeling across multiple tissue depths. Prospective clinical evidence for this sequential approach is limited, and few RF studies combine quantitative 3D imaging with validated patient-reported outcome measures.

Study device and procedure The study device is the DENSITY RF system (Jeisys Medical Inc., Seoul, South Korea), operating at 6.78 MHz with sequential monopolar and bipolar delivery using Classic-F and High-F tips. A neutral grounding electrode is used during monopolar delivery. Each participant receives a single treatment session to the face and neck, administered by trained clinic personnel at an energy setting of approximately 3.0 to 3.5 over two passes (approximately 300 shots). The clinical endpoint is uniform mild erythema with a comfortable warming sensation. Topical anesthetic is applied where needed, and participants are observed for 15 to 30 minutes after treatment.

Study design and visit schedule

This is a prospective, single-center, single-arm, baseline-controlled pilot study conducted at Cutis Medical Laser Clinics, Singapore. Each participant takes part for approximately 3 months:

  • Visit 1 (Day 1): screening, baseline assessments, treatment, and immediate post-treatment tolerability assessment
  • Visit 2 (Day 30 +/- 5 days): follow-up assessments
  • Visit 3 (Day 90 +/- 5 days): final follow-up assessments

Assessments include standardized 3D facial imaging (AURA 3D Imaging System), FACE-Q patient-reported outcome scales, investigator-assessed skin laxity grading, investigator- and participant-rated Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS), local skin tolerability, and adverse event monitoring. Participants are asked to maintain their usual skincare routine and avoid other aesthetic treatments or new topical products during the study.

Statistical considerations As a pilot study, analyses are primarily descriptive. Changes from baseline are evaluated using paired t-tests or Wilcoxon signed-rank tests as appropriate, with two-sided significance set at p\<0.05.

Ethics and conduct The study is conducted in accordance with ICH-GCP, ISO 14155:2020, the Declaration of Helsinki, and the Singapore Human Biomedical Research Act. The protocol was approved by the Parkway Independent Ethics Committee (PIEC reference 2025-047). Written informed consent is obtained from all participants before any study procedure.

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.

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.
