Summary of Alasta™ Clinical Studies |
|
|
| Subjects experienced up to a 72% improvement in skin elasticity over baseline; 100% of subjects experienced general improvement in skin elasticity. |

|
| Statistically significant reduction in skin rebound time at both 4 and 8 week evaluation intervals. Skin firmness (elasticity) scores were obtained using the Pinch Test method.1 For each subject, the technician grasped the skin of the lateral, suborbital area of the eyes between the thumb and forefinger. The resultant folds were released and timing of all visible movement of the skin from release until no further motion was observed using a stopwatch (measured to nearest hundredth of a second). Improvements in skin elasticity were considered substantiated if there was a statistically significant (P ≤ 0.05) decrease in the mean scores between the baseline and the subsequent 4 & 8 week post-treatment scoring intervals. (dependent t-Test).2 |

For cell turnover, D-Squame® Disc Image Analysis revealed that the results support an increased desquamating potential, suggesting an effective mild keratolytic effect. (softening and shedding of outer skin layers) |
