Detailed Description

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

This is a prospective, multi-center, multi-phase, evaluator-blinded study of subjects undergoing a procedure to improve the appearance of lax tissue in the neck and submental region. All study subjects will be treated with the Renuvion APR Device.

Phase I (n=17) of this study will be conducted primarily to provide safety data, however, effectiveness data will also be collected at the above stated timepoints through 6 months post-procedure.

Phase II (n=65) of this study is the expansion of the study to a pivotal study.

Study Groups

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

Study Phase I

Subjects will be treated with the Renuvion APR device in the neck and submental region.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Renuvion APR Device

Intervention Type DEVICE

The Renuvion APR Handpiece is a sterile, single use electrosurgical (monopolar) device intended to be used in conjunction with compatible generators for the percutaneous delivery of radiofrequency energy and/or helium plasma for cutting, coagulation and ablation of soft tissue. Radiofrequency energy is delivered to the handpiece by the generator and used to energize the electrode. When helium gas is passed over the energized electrode, a helium plasma is generated for soft tissue cutting, coagulation or ablation. The Renuvion APR Handpiece has a non-extendable electrode to generate helium plasma.

Study Phase II

Subjects will be treated with the Renuvion APR device in the neck and submental region.
