5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Primary study objective is to evaluate the optimization of Nano-Pulse Stimulation (NPS) energy settings for lesion clearance of Seborrheic Keratosis (SKs) from off-facial areas of healthy adults.
Detailed Description
Evaluate lesion clearance rate of SKs in off-face locations post-treatment versus baseline using multiple sized treatment tips with microneedles. Evaluate the clearance of the treated SKs using multiple energy settings at various time points initial procedure, compared baseline. Evaluate skin effects and adverse event rate.
