Cryotherapy Brown Spots

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is testing a new treatment for brown spots on the face, which can happen due to sun exposure or aging. The researchers want to compare three different types of cryotherapy devices, called CRYONOVE, to see how well they work and how comfortable they are for patients. Cryotherapy is a procedure that uses cold temperatures to treat skin issues. Participants in the trial will receive treatments for their brown spots over six visits, and the team will look at how each device performs and how well people tolerate the treatments.

To join the study, participants need to be healthy adults aged 18 to 75 with specific skin types and at least two brown spots on their face. They should also avoid sun exposure and certain cosmetic treatments for a while before and during the study. It's important for participants to attend all scheduled visits and understand the purpose of the trial, including any potential risks. This study is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to help improve future treatments for brown spots on the skin.
