Study summary

Rosacea is a frequent dermatological condition, with a chronic and disturbing evolution that is characterized by redness, permanent erythema associated with telangiectasia (visible and permanent dilatation of the small vessels). It frequently affects men and women with fair skin and can have significant psycho-emotional consequences.

To counteract the unaesthetic appearance of redness and eliminate telangiectasia, the use of the laser is proposed to the patient.

This study is a single center prospective, randomized, controlled split face study to compare 532nm KTP laser versus 585 nm PLV Laser in terms of improvement of the symptoms in the treatment of Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea 20 subjects will receive up to 3 laser treatments at day 0, month 2 and 4 and will be followed at month 6 and 12.

Read the detailed description

Adult male and female subjects 18 years of age or older will participate in the study after the objectives, methods, and potential risks of the study have been explained, and after they have signed the informed consent form.

Patients will come to the investigation center for a maximum of 6 visits.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Degree of improvement in Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea

    Measured, for each treatment arm, based on blinded physician assessment of subject photographs using the 7 points Telangiectasia Grading Score. (-1 = Aggravation of telangiectasia, 0 = no change, 1 = poor improvement (\<25% decrease), 2 = intermediate improvement (25-50% decrease), 3 significant improvement (50-75% decrease), 4 = very significant improvement (75-99% decrease), 5 = complete improvement (100% decrease)

    Time frame: at Month 2

Secondary outcomes

  1. Degree of improvement in Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea evaluated by a blinded physician.

    Measured, for each treatment arm, based on subject photographs using the 7 points Telangiectasia Grading Score

    Time frame: at Month 4, 6,12

  2. Measures of skin reaction for each treatment arm

    Measured with a 4 points scale : no reaction, low, moderate and severe reaction

    Time frame: At baseline, At Month 2, At Month 4 (if realized)

  3. Pain evaluation during each treatment

    Mosby Pain Rating Scale for each treatment arm

    Time frame: At baseline, At Month 2, At Month 4 (if realized)

  4. Change in lesion skin color in each treatment arm

    Measured with Chroma-Meter CR400 (Konica Minolta), Mean a\* value

    Time frame: At Baseline, at Month 2, 4, 6,12

  5. Subject satisfaction level

    Comparison of each treatment arm using Subject Overall Evolution Scale

    Time frame: At Month 6,12

  6. Change in Life Quality

    Comparison of Dermatology Life Quality Index

    Time frame: At Selection, at Baseline, at Month 2, 4 (if realized), 6,12

  7. Practitioner's opinion

    Comparison, for each treatment arm, of comfort of use, practicality, duration of treatment

    Time frame: At baseline, At Month 2, At Month 4 (if realized)

  8. Adverse Events

    Incidence and severity of adverse effects, for each treatment arm, during the study period
