Brief summary

This research study will test how well a light therapy mask works for women with mild to moderate hyperpigmentation (brown spots) and moderate to severe facial wrinkles, as compared to a sham or inactive investigational light therapy mask. The study will also test if the light therapy mask causes any irritation. For the first 12 weeks of the study, participants will use the assigned mask, along with a provided cleanser and sunscreen. For the second 12 weeks of the study, participants will use just the cleanser and sunscreen.

Detailed description

Exposure to sunlight and artificial light sources containing ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known to accelerate the skin's aging process, resulting in unwanted wrinkles, irregular skin tone, and loss of elasticity. Ablative techniques, such as dermabrasion, deep chemical peels, and ablative laser resurfacing of various wavelengths, are well documented to alleviate the signs of photodamage. However, such techniques often require significant post-treatment care and have higher risk profiles than other treatments, with potential side effects including erythema, pigmentation issues, infection, and possible scarring. They may be poorly tolerated by patients who dislike the discomfort, wound care, and prolonged downtime involved. Non-ablative skin rejuvenation procedures are also effective for improving the appearance of photodamaged skin and are becoming increasingly popular because of their minimal downtime and increased safety. These procedures include intense pulsed light systems, non-ablative lasers, and monochromatic light boxes, which can target facial rhytids, irregular pigmentation, telangiectasia, and skin laxity. Unfortunately, such techniques can be expensive and their use is primarily limited to clinical settings. However, the light-emitting diode (LED) is a novel light source that is well-suited for non-ablative phototherapy that can be utilized at home for a relatively low price. This study will evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of an LED-based light therapy mask as compared to a sham mask in subjects seeking anti-aging benefits.

Interventions

DEVICEActive Mask

A facial cleanser will be used twice daily (morning and evening). In the morning after washing, the moisturizer with SPF will be applied full-face. For the first 12 weeks of the study, the active light therapy mask will be used for 10 minutes in the evening after washing/drying the face. For the second 12 weeks of the study, mask usage will be discontinued.

DEVICESham Mask

A facial cleanser will be used twice daily (morning and evening). In the morning after washing, the moisturizer with SPF will be applied full-face. For the first 12 weeks of the study, the sham light therapy mask will be used for 10 minutes in the evening after washing/drying the face. For the second 12 weeks of the study, mask usage will be discontinued.

Pre-assignment details

At Visit 1 (Screening), participants were enrolled in the study and randomized to the active cell or the sham cell (stratified by skin type). All participants received the same facial cleanser and moisturizer with SPF to use between Visit 1 and Visit 2, and then received the assigned test product (Active Mask or Sham Mask) at Visit 2 (Baseline).
