Skin Aging, Skin Condition, Skin Manifestations
Conditions
Brief summary
This clinical trial aims to evaluate whether a 14-day pre-operative application of the test product (containing MLYAAT-1002®, a proprietary anti-aging complex) can mitigate skin discomfort during Fotona 4D laser therapy (Frac3 and Piano modes) by comparing clinical evaluation, skin attributes measurement and subject self-assessment.
Interventions
All enrolled subjects will complete a 14-day washout period followed by a 14-day run-in phase prior to Fotona 4D® laser treatment. During the initial washout phase, participants will exclusively use basic skincare products: sunscreen, cleansing foam, and moisturizing emulsion. Then the subjects will apply the formulations containing MLYAAT-1002® of the active comparator to randomly assigned split-face (the treatment side) for the subsequent 14-day period. Following completion of the product application regimen, all participants will undergo a single session of Fotona 4D laser therapy.

During the initial washout phase, participants will exclusively use basic skincare products: sunscreen, cleansing foam, and moisturizing emulsion. Then the subjects will apply the formulations without MLYAAT-1002® of the placebo comparator to randomly assigned split-face (the control side) for the subsequent 14-day period. Following completion of the product application regimen, all participants will undergo a single session of Fotona 4D laser therapy.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| changes in the percentage of area in the red zone of facial skin | Baseline (before Fotona 4D treatment), T30min (30 minutes after Fotona 4D treatment), T2h (2 hours after Fotona 4D treatment) | capturing facial images by VISIA-CR (CANFIELD, America) and analysis the percentage of area in the red zone. |
| Self-assessment of the facial state questionnaire | Baseline (before Fotona 4D treatment), Timm (immediately after Fotona 4D treatment), T30min (30 minutes after Fotona 4D treatment), T2h (2 hours after Fotona 4D treatment) | Subjects rated the burning sensation, picotement, pruritus, dysesthesia, tightness,on a five-point scale: 0=Asymptomatic;1=Very mild;2=mild;3=moderate;4=severe |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| changes in transepidermal water loss (TEWL) of facial skin | D-14(14 days before Fotona 4D treatment), Baseline (before Fotona 4D treatment), T30min (30 minutes after Fotona 4D treatment), T2h (2 hours after Fotona 4D treatment) | measuring the loss of water that passes from inside a body through the epidermis to the surrounding atmosphere by Vapometer. |
| changes in skin stratum corneum water content | D-14(14 days before Fotona 4D treatment), Baseline (before Fotona 4D treatment), T30min (30 minutes after Fotona 4D treatment), T2h (2 hours after Fotona 4D treatment) | measuring skin stratum corneum water content by Corneometer CM825 (Courage&Khazaka,Germany). |
