Trial Outcomes & Findings for Picosure Alexandrite Laser and Revlite Nd:Yag Laser for the Treatment of Unwanted Tattoos (NCT NCT02110121)

NCT ID: NCT02110121

Last Updated: 2021-02-09

Results Overview

Clearance will be measured using a blinded photograph evaluation scale. This ranges from 0 to 3, where a score of 0 is 0-25%, 1 is 25-50% clearance rating, 2 is 50-75%, and 3 is \>75%. Photographs will be taken of the subjects at baseline and post treatment. The results will be compared to determine clearance.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 months post each patient's last treatment, approximately 15 months

Population: 11 Picosure subjects were lost to follow up, 2 subjects withdrew, and 7 subjects were not required to attend the follow up because the study was ended.

Clearance will be measured using a blinded photograph evaluation scale. This ranges from 0 to 3, where a score of 0 is 0-25%, 1 is 25-50% clearance rating, 2 is 50-75%, and 3 is \>75%. Photographs will be taken of the subjects at baseline and post treatment. The results will be compared to determine clearance.
