Summary

This study tested a device called the Octave System to lift eyebrows and improve the look of the face and neck. Fifty adults with mild to moderate skin looseness took part. Researchers compared photos taken before and after treatment to see if eyebrows were lifted. The results showed the device was effective at 90 days.
