What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

The goal of this prospective, single-arm clinical study is to gather quantifiable data on Renuvion's impact on skin elasticity and hydration, indicators of skin quality and estimate the biological skin age using DNA methylation in males and females between 18 and 75 years of age who plan to receive a lower facelift surgery. The main purpose is to quantify the effect of the Renuvion device on skin elasticity (collagen density, elastin, fibrillin-1), hydration (aquaporin-3, acidic glycosaminoglycans, HA), and DNA methylation to estimate the biological age of the skin. Participants will receive a lower facelift surgery per the Investigator's standard clinical practice and treatment with the Renuvion APR System.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• Renuvion APR System

Trial Overview The study tests the Renuvion APR System's impact on improving skin conditions like Cutis Laxa and Collagen Degeneration by measuring changes in collagen density, elastin levels, hydration factors, and DNA methylation after its use during facelift surgery.
