Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This randomized, multi-center, double-blinded, split-face, controlled clinical trial was conducted to investigate the tolerability, safety, and efficacy of a post-procedure cream when used immediately after hybrid-fractional laser treatment and for 7 days post-procedure with three times daily application in healthy female subjects aged 35-65 years with moderate to severe global face photodamage (score of 4 to 7 out of the 10-point Modified Griffiths' scale). Furthermore, this clinical trial compared the active post-procedure cream to a comparator moisturizer often paired with skin rejuvenation procedures. This is a cosmetic study with an FDA-regulated device.

A total of 16 healthy female subjects completed the study (8 subjects at both sites).

Detailed Description

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

This randomized, multi-center, double-blinded, split-face, controlled clinical trial was conducted to investigate the tolerability, safety, and efficacy of a post-procedure cream when used immediately after hybrid-fractional laser treatment and for 7 days post-procedure with three times daily application in healthy female subjects aged 35-65 years with moderate to severe global face photodamage (score of 4 to 7 out of the 10-point modified Griffith's scale). The ability of the post-procedure cream to soothe skin and improve patient downtime post-procedure was investigated by evaluating tolerability parameters (erythema, edema, dryness, burning, itching, stinging) over the course of the study. Furthermore, this clinical trial compared the active post-procedure cream to a comparator moisturizer often paired with skin rejuvenation procedures.

A 7-day washout period was required of all subjects prior to hybrid-fractional laser treatment. Tolerability (investigator: erythema, edema, dryness; subject: burning, itching, stinging) and safety were assessed through grading at screening, pre-procedure, post-procedure, post-procedure/post-product application, and days 1, 3, 5, and 7 post-procedure.

In addition, efficacy evaluation using the Modified Griffiths' scale was performed at screening, pre-procedure, and day 7 post-procedure. Self-assessment questionnaires were completed by subjects post-procedure/post-product application and days 1, 5, and 7 post-procedure. Clinical photography was completed at screening, pre-procedure, post-procedure/post-product application, and days 1, 3, 5, and 7 post-procedure.

A total of 16 healthy female subjects completed the study (8 subjects at both sites).

Participants Investigators
Subjects were randomly assigned to use the active post-procedure cream on one side of the face and the comparator moisturizer on the opposite side of the face.

The products were packaged in the same container and labelled post-procedure cream. This was a double-blinded study, where the investigator, study subject, and other study personnel involved in the evaluation of efficacy or safety were blinded to the group during the study.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Split-Face Application of Active

Active (Experimental) Post-Procedure Cream

Dosage Form: reverse emulsion (water in oil) cream containing bioactive ingredients, botanical actives, peptides, and antioxidants.

Frequency of Dosage: Three times daily (morning, afternoon, and evening). Subjects were asked to apply to the face, forehead, under eyes, cheeks, upper lips, chin, and nose. The product was labelled with Right or Left depending on split-face randomization.

Study Duration: 14 days. Active Post-Procedure Cream duration 14 days.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Hybrid Fractional Laser

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

A hybrid fractional HALO™ laser treatment was performed after a 7-day washout period. Subjects were numbed for 30 minutes to 1 hour prior to the procedure with a topical numbing cream containing benzocaine, lidocaine, and/or tetracaine. After numbing was completed, patients received one full-face HALO™ laser treatment with settings 350/20/20.

Facial Cleanser

Intervention Type OTHER

Subjects were to use the provided cleanser twice daily (morning and evening) during the 7-day washout period and 7-day post-procedure timeline.

Facial Moisturizer

Intervention Type OTHER

Subjects were to use the provided bland facial moisturizer as follows:

WASHOUT PERIOD (7 days): After cleansing, 1-2 pumps were to be applied twice daily (morning and evening) to the full face avoiding the eye area

POST-PROCEDURE (7 days): After applying the Post-Procedure Cream and Active Comparator based on split-face randomization, the facial moisturizer was to be applied twice daily (morning and afternoon).

Sunscreen

Intervention Type OTHER

During the 7-day washout period and 7-day post-procedure timeline, subjects were to apply the provided basic sunscreen in the morning and afternoon after applying facial moisturizer. Sunscreen was to be reapplied as needed throughout the day per FDA recommendations.

Split-Face Application of Comparator

COMPARATOR:

Dosage Form: moisturizer formulation

Comparator Moisturizer Frequency of Dosage: Three times daily (morning, afternoon, and evening). Subjects were asked to apply to the face, forehead, under eyes, cheeks, upper lips, chin, and nose. The product was labelled with Right or Left depending on split-face randomization.

Study Duration: 14 days. Comparator duration 14 days.
