The PREFORM Study: Rotational Fractional Resection for Submental Contouring

The PREFORM Study: An Exploratory, Single-Center Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Rotational Fractional Resection on Submental Contouring and Optimal Peri-Procedure Regimen for Accelerated Recovery

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of rotational fractional resection (RFR) to improve neck contouring. Rotational fractional resection is used to remove loose skin and fat.

This is a prospective, single-center, single-arm (non-randomized), interventional cohort, non-significant risk (NSR) study designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of Rotational Fractional Resection (skin resection and focal lipectomy) in patients with moderate to severe submental skin laxity. The total duration of study participation for each subject is approximately up to 4 months for each subject from the screening visit to the exit visit. The follow-up period will be approximately 3 months after the procedure. Eligible subjects will complete a total of 11 study visits: screening, procedure, and follow-up visits at 1, 4, 7, 14, 21, 30, 45, 60, and 90 days post-procedure.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Healthy male or female
• At least 30 years old

• Agree to maintain weight (±5%) for the duration of the study

Exclusion Criteria:

• Previous intervention to treat submental fat or skin laxity
• Use of aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, or Vitamin E within 14 days of the procedure
