NCT ID NCT07685834
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether a device called SofWave, which uses ultrasound energy, can improve loose skin on the face and neck. It includes healthy women aged 30-50 who are starting tirzepatide for weight loss. Half receive SofWave treatments, and the other half serve as a control group. The goal is to see if the treatment reduces skin laxity compared to no treatment.
