NCT ID NCT06645366
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This completed trial tested the BTL-785F device on 39 healthy adults over 30 who wanted better skin on their face and neck. Participants received three treatments, each lasting 20–60 minutes, spaced 2–6 weeks apart. The goal was to see if the device could improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, pigmentation, and laxity, as measured by photos and patient satisfaction.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BTL-785F device (a skin treatment device using a specialized tip and applicator)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a non-invasive option for improving skin texture and reducing wrinkles, pigmentation, and laxity on the face and neck.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed trial with no phase designation, so results may not apply to everyone. The device may cause side effects like redness or scabbing, and long-term benefits are unknown.
