Brief summary
This study evaluates the performance of CRYOBEAUTY MAINS, a Cyto-selective Cryotherapy based on Difluoroethane as a treatment of Solar Lentigines in 30 volunteers. Only one application of CRYOBEAUTY MAINS in one hand (right or left hand according to the randomization code).
Interventions
CYOBEAUTY MAINS diffuses Difluoroethane gas to the skin. The administration of the cryogenic gas is temperature controlled, accurate and contactless (by means of a spray nozzle), in small quantity (\<1g) and during a predetermined short duration (3 seconds)

Intervention model description
Patients will be treated on the randomized hand, the other hand is the comparator/control. Comparison between the treated hand and the control hand will be performed.
