Solar Lentigo
Conditions
Brief summary
This study evaluates the performance of new technology CRYOTHERAPY MAINS ET DECOLLETE against a classic cryotherapy Nitrogen Liquid to treat solar lentigines. The hands and the neckline will be randomised, either left or right side and treated by two cryotherapy devices: 1. CRYOTHERAPY MAINS ET DECOLLETE is the device under evaluation. 2. Liquid nitrogen is a comparator device.
Interventions
The intervention lasts up to 6.5 s. The device will be applied on spots \<6 mm which are previously selected by the investigator team.
The intervention lasts up to 3 s. The liquid is stored in well-isolated recipients. Each patient has his recipient to avoid contamination. The investigator applies on spots \<6 mm a small amount of nitrogen liquid.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Performance assessment of new cryotherapy device CRYOTHERAPY MAIN ET DECOLLETE to treat solar lentigo spots on the hands. | 8 weeks | Evaluation of CRYOBEAUTY MAINS's performance Hexsel scoring: 1. \> Very significant clearance (about 90%); only minor evidence of hyper pigmentation remains 2. \> Significant improvement (about 75%); some signs of hyper pigmentation remains 3. \> Intermediate between marked and slight improvement; about 50% improvement in the appearance of hyper pigmentation 4. \> Some improvement (about 25%); however, significant evidence of hyper pigmentation remains 5. \> Hyperpigmentation has not changed since baseline 6. \> Worse (hyperpigmentation is worse than at baseline) |
