Full description

Prospective, up to 4 center study of the safety and efficacy of mechanical coring with Tegaderm tape skin closure of cored holes to achieve improvement in the appearance of wrinkles of the cheeks. The study will evaluate the progress of up to 70 subjects after two treatments on the cheeks. Up to 70 subjects who meet inclusion/exclusion criteria will be treated. All subjects will be monitored for a period 7, 37, 60 and 120 days post treatment.

Enrollment: 70 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 22 to 75 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

4. Women of childbearing age are required to be using a reliable method of birth control at least 3 months prior to study enrollment and for the duration of the study and have a negative Urine Pregnancy test at baseline.
5. Fitzpatrick skin type I to IV.
6. Cheek areas are at least a score of 3 using the Lemperle Wrinkle Scale as judged by the Investigator.

Exclusion criteria

1. Previous aesthetic (device and/or surgical) skin treatment (injection of dermal fillers, fat, or botulinum toxin), in the treated areas in the last 6 months.
2. Silicone, Tattoos, body jewelry, that cannot be removed for the duration of treatment and/or any other synthetic material in the treatment area.
3. Any type of scar in the treatment area
4. Excessive sun exposure and use of tanning beds or tanning creams within 30 days to prior to treatment.
5. History of keloid formation or hypertrophic scarring.
6. Active smoker or having quit smoking in the last 3 months.
7. Active, chronic, or recurrent infection including Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection or history of HSV in the last 6 months.
8. Compromised immune and/or healing system (e.g., poorly controlled diabetes, collagen vascular disease or autoimmune diseases such as scleroderma, morphea, etc.).
9. Hypersensitivity/allergy to analgesic agents, Betadine, tumescent, Tegaderm or tensioning tape that will be used in the study.
10. Co-morbid condition that could limit the ability of the subject to participate in the study or to comply with follow-up requirements.
11. Pregnant, planning pregnancy during the trial course or breastfeeding.
12. History of bleeding disorder or taking medication that can potentially increase bleeding including anticoagulation.
13. Carcinoma, melanoma, or any other cutaneous cancerous condition in the last 6 months.
