New laser and cream combo aims to fade age spots
NCT ID NCT07239726
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a laser device called Epilady, used with or without a special cream, to lighten dark age spots on the hands and forearms of healthy women aged 35 to 70. Over 84 days, doctors will check how much the spots fade and how well the treatment is tolerated. The goal is to see if this combination is a safe and effective way to reduce the appearance of lentigo spots.

Exclusion Criteria: * • Participants with dry or sensitive skin, as assessed by the investigator. * Participants who have used cosmetic products with exfoliating or astringent claims on the hands within 4 weeks prior to the baseline visit. * Participants who have used any home-use or professional low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or have participated in clinical studies involving LLLT within the 6 months preceding the baseline visit * History of light-induced seizures or chronic migraine disorders. * History of photosensitivity or photoallergic reactions. * Presence of underlying dermatological conditions on the hands/forearms that, in the opinion of the investigator, could interfere with the clinical investigation assessments. * A family history of melanoma in first- or second-degree relatives (parents or grandparents). * Presence of excessive moles, non-lentigo pigmented lesions, tattoos, scars, or irritated skin in the test area that could affect the validity of the investigation. * History of surgical procedures involving the areas designated for treatment. * Participants who have been exposed to or plan to be exposed to sunbathing or artificial UV sources (e.g., mountain sports, phototherapy, tanning salons) within 1 month before the clinical investigation start or during the clinical investigation period. * Use of suntan or self-tanning products within the 2 weeks preceding the baseline visit. * Change in cosmetic habits (e.g., moisturizers, skincare, shower gels) during the 2 weeks prior to baseline. * Use of any medications, topical treatments, skincare products, or aesthetic procedures listed in the CIP without observing the required wash-out periods, or unwillingness/inability to comply with those restrictions during the clinical investigation. * Participant who cannot be contacted by telephone in case of emergency * Participant in an exclusion period or participating in another biomedical research clinical investigation (self-reported) * Intellectual/mental inability to follow clinical investigation instructions (if suspected) or incapacitation. * Participants working for the contract research organization (CIDP) in charge of this clinical investigation.
