Summary

This study tested a device that removes tiny cores of skin (about the width of a few hairs) to trigger the body's natural repair process, aiming to reduce wrinkles and tighten sagging skin on the lower face and neck. 45 adults with moderate-to-severe wrinkles and skin laxity participated. The goal was to see if the treatment safely improves wrinkle appearance and skin firmness.
