Evaluation of Nano-Pulse Stimulation (NPS) in Sebaceous Hyperplasia
This prospective, open label, muti-center study evaluates the use of Nano-Pulse Stimulation
(NPS) in the treatment of Sebaceous Hyperplasia (SH) lesions less than 2.5mm in size.
(NPS) in the treatment of Sebaceous Hyperplasia (SH) lesions less than 2.5mm in size.
The study is designed with each subject serving as his or her own control. A total of up to
75 subjects with 2-5 qualifying SH lesions will be enrolled and treated with either a 1.5-mm
x 1.5-mm or 2.5-mm x 2.5-mm tip. One lesion will be randomized as a untreated control and no
NPS energy will be delivered. All treated lesions will receive at least one NPS treatment and
evaluated at 30 days for lesion clearance. Initial lesions scored as Not Clear or Partially
Clear may undergo a second NPS treatment. All subjects will have their lesions evaluated at
60 days post-primary or secondary treatment.
