Evaluating Procedure Pairing of a Post-Procedure Cream Versus a Comparator in Patients Treated With a Hybrid-Fractional Laser for Facial Rejuvenation

A hybrid fractional HALO™ laser treatment was performed after a 7-day washout period. Subjects were numbed for 30 minutes to 1 hour prior to the procedure with a topical numbing cream containing benzocaine, lidocaine, and/or tetracaine. After numbing was completed, patients received one full-face HALO™ laser treatment with settings 350/20/20.

Subjects were to use the provided cleanser twice daily (morning and evening) during the 7-day washout period and 7-day post-procedure timeline.

"Subjects were to use the provided bland facial moisturizer as follows:~WASHOUT PERIOD (7 days): After cleansing, 1-2 pumps were to be applied twice daily (morning and evening) to the full face avoiding the eye area~POST-PROCEDURE (7 days): After applying the Post-Procedure Cream and Active Comparator based on split-face randomization, the facial moisturizer was to be applied twice daily (morning and afternoon)."

During the 7-day washout period and 7-day post-procedure timeline, subjects were to apply the provided basic sunscreen in the morning and afternoon after applying facial moisturizer. Sunscreen was to be reapplied as needed throughout the day per FDA recommendations.
