ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at the safety and effectiveness of a treatment called the InMode RF Pro System with a special applicator for people suffering from inflammatory acne, which can range from mild to severe. The goal is to see how well this treatment works for reducing acne on the face. The trial is currently recruiting participants who are at least 16 years old and in generally good health, with specific types of acne and a certain number of inflammatory lesions (like bumps or pus-filled spots).

If you or someone you know is interested in participating, it’s important to know that participants must agree to follow the study rules, including not using other acne treatments or changing birth control methods during the trial. They should also avoid sun exposure unless using sunscreen. The trial excludes individuals with certain medical conditions or treatments, like recent use of acne medications, active skin issues, or specific health problems that could complicate participation. Overall, this study aims to provide more information on a new way to help treat acne effectively.
