Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the trial is to provide objective evidence the SkinStylus may be used safely and effectively for the treatment of ventral torso hypertrophic scars.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

1. The SkinStylus has been designated as a non-significant risk and therefore will be granted an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE). There are no meaningful changes to the SkinStylus® instructions for use and specifically no new risks will be introduced.
2. Each participant shall have at least one suitable ventral torso hypertropic scar of sufficient length that it may be easily visualized in two halfs. At the conclusion of the trial all participants shall be provided with a cross over treatment on the non-treated portion of the scar identical to that which was provided within the trial for the purpose of "evening" the ventral torso hypertrophic scar. This is entirely voluntary and participants may decline the treatment if they wish.

Allocation Method

NA

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

Each participant shall have at least one suitable ventral torso hypertropic scar of sufficient length that it may be easily visualized in two halfs. At the conclusion of the trial all participants shall be provided with a cross over treatment on the non-treated portion of the scar identical to that which was provided within the trial for the purpose of "evening" the ventral torso hypertrophic scar.
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

NONE

3\. The trial shall be blinded and bias minimized in that three (3) physicians who are either dermatologists or plastic surgeons (and not affiliated with the trial or Esthetic Education LLC) shall review the baseline and treatment photographs and score them using the VAS scale (Visual Analogue Scale).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental

Each subject shall have a relatively homogenous section of the total scar divided into two relatively equal sides. One side shall be treated with SkinStylus Sterilock System and the other not treated. The side that is chosen for treatment remains constant. The side that is chosen is done so randomly and prior to meeting the subject via a coin flip randomization.
