Study 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.

Inclusion criteria

  • Phototype II to IV
  • Presenting solar lentigos on both hands and neck, diameter ≤ 6mm
  • Accepting not to expose the body to sunlight or artificial UV rays during the study
  • Affiliate to a health insurance plan
  • Having undergone a general clinical examination attesting to his / her ability to participate in the study
  • Having given written consent

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Having carried out aesthetic care (exfoliants, scrubs or self-tanning, manicure, hand care, UV ...) in the month before the start of the study, at the level of the hands and/or neckline.
  • Having applied a depigmenting product in the month preceding the start of the study, at the level of the hands and/or neckline.
  • Having carried out aesthetic care at a dermatologist (laser, IPL, peeling, depigmenting creams, cryotherapy ...), at the level of the hands and/or neckline, during the last six months
  • Dermatosis, disease (vitiligo), systemic, chronic or acute disease, or any other disease that may interfere with the treatment or influence the results of the study (people with diabetes, circulatory problems, cold allergies, With Raynaud's syndrome ...)
  • Receiving general or local treatment ( ...) likely to interfere with the evaluation of the studied parameters.
  • Participating in another study or being in an exclusion period from a previous study
  • Being incapable of following the requirements of the protocol

  • Women of childbearing age who do not have
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    CRYOBEAUTY MAINS ET DECOLLETE

    CRYOBEAUTY MAINS ET DECOLLETE is a new technology conceived to treat solar lentigo. One side left, or right of neckline and/or hands is attributed to this device according to randomization protocol.

    Device: CRYOBEAUTY MAINS ET DECOLLETE

  • Active comparator
    Liquid nitrogen

    Liquid nitrogen is a classic cryotherapy device. One side, either left or right of neckline and/or hands are attributed to this device according to randomization protocol.

    Device: Liquid nitrogen

Interventions

  • DeviceCRYOBEAUTY MAINS ET DECOLLETE

    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.

  • DeviceLiquid nitrogen

    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.

    Also known as: Azote médical liquide

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Performance assessment of new cryotherapy device "CRYOTHERAPY MAIN ET DECOLLETE" to treat solar lentigo spots on the hands.

    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)

    Time frame: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Performance assessment of CRYOBEAUTY HANDS AND DECOLLETE on the spots of the neckline.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Oct 2017 to primary completion in Dec 2017, 1 month.

Of 11 interventional studies with no phase under Lentigo, half reached primary completion within 2 months of starting (the median); a quarter within 1 and three quarters within 13. This study's 1 month is below that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 4, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
