CLINCIAL STUDY SUMMARY

"TEST PATIENTS AND PHYSICIANS NOTED VISIBLE IMPROVEMENT IN HEALING AND REDUCED SKIN DAMAGE."

Clinical Study

June - September, 2000 began the first of a series of studies to test the effects of the Optimal-Outcome Rapid Healing Skincare on volunteer subjects. The clinical study was conducted by DermTech International, Protocol # 00-166DN, "Efficacy of Topical Therapeutic Cosmetics to Ameliorate Post Cosmetic Surgical Bruising and Inflammation". The object of the study was to determine the potential of topical therapeutic cosmetics to improve healing and ameliorate the appearance of bruising, general inflammation (erythema, edema), and scarring following a surgical cosmetic procedure, i.e. surgery and laser treatment. The studies were performed among a statistically significant panel of subjects ranging in age from 30-55 who exhibited varying degrees of skin damage resulting from cosmetic procedures.

Observations

Average 20-30% reduction in post-operative skin damage and proportionate percent decrease in healing time as evidenced by physician documentation and progressive photography.

Key Study Results

Formula proved an effective therapy for the reducing post operative skin damage causing a visible improvement in the healing process showing less redness, swelling and visible suture lines as quantified and recorded by a qualified laboratory technician, Richard Escajeda, MD and Lawrence Rheins, PhD. Furthermore this effect is distinctly visible and confirmed by the photographic documentation made during the course of this study. A self perception questionnaire was also distributed to patient volunteers. As noted, "the cream works well, less pain, better healing. No swelling verses ice packs. You can't ask for anything better" - AM, New York

Empirical Studies

2001- to present, continued empirical studies to expand control group and obtain results employing more current techniques and technologies. One such a study was conducted at the practice of Richard Coburn, MD, supervised by Susan Turner, RN. Results were consistent with clinical study showing improved healing and reduction in surface bruising, redness, swelling and scarring. "Noticeable difference along the nose and mouth. Delayed onset and reduced intensity of bruise on left (treated) side". Additional studies have been or are currently being conducted at the following practices:

Michael Bruck, MD, 2004; Karen Menard, RN, 2004; Sheila A. Bond, MD, 2005; Barry Weintraub, MD, ongoing.
