A pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of altering skin pigmentation using the Dermal Cooling System.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This non-significant risk study is being performed to test the hypothesis that a new treatment concept, controlled localized cooling of the epidermal layer, can be used to lighten areas of the skin.
