Brief Summary

Cryotherapy is more and more used to improve skin appearance. Devices using difluoroethane, manufactured by CRYONOVE PHARMA, are already available on the local and international markets, e.g. CRYOBEAUTY MAINS and CRYOBEAUTY CORPS. However, the cryogenic gas (conventional cryotherapy - liquid nitrogen) creates a dermabrasion of the skin surface and person receiving this kind of treatment presents an impaired skin during a few days following the treatment as temporary damage of stratum corneum, erythema, scars, burns. Following the side effects occurring after conventional cryotherapy application, it seems interesting for the sponsor to select other sequences of a cryogenic spray (4 prototypes of devices) which could be used for lentigo treatment with a same benefit for the consumers without any safety outcomes. This study will assess the use of different prototypes with a sequence of application of cryogenic gas which reaches a higher temperature than those which used with the reference device, in order to increase the acceptability of the device. (CS4\_3) proof of concept, interventional, monocentric, aims to evaluate the tolerance of cryotherapy treatments applied on healthy skin on the back of the hands. The main objective of the study is to evaluate on phototype V and VI, the tolerance of 4 different conditions of cryotherapy treatments (4 prototypes) applied on healthy skin on the back of the hands.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Change from baseline skin hyperpigmentation

  This outcome is a tolerance assessment criteria. Clinical evaluation of hyperpigmentation on each selected and treated area will be performed by a Dermatologist using the Investigator's Global Assessment likert 6 points scale ranged from 0 to 5: 0=Clear of hyperpigmentation, 1= Almost clear of hyperpigmentation, 2=mild, but noticeable hyperpigmentation, 3=moderate hyperpigmentation (medium brown in quality), 4=severe hyperpigmentation (dark brown in quality), 5= very severe hyperpigmentation (very dark brown, almost black in quality)

  Day 0, Day 2, Day 7, Day 21, Day 56

• Change from baseline skin hypopigmentation

  This outcome is a tolerance assessment criteria. Clinical evaluation of hypopigmentation on each selected and treated area will be performed by a Dermatologist using a likert 5 points scale ranged from 0 to 4: 0=no hypopigmented lesion, 1= very slight area of hypopigmentation of very small size and very slightly fairer than the surrounding skin, 2= slight area of hypopigmentation of small size and slightly fairer than the surrounding skin, 3= moderate : area of hypopigmentation of moderate size and much fairer than the surrounding skin, 4= severe : area of hypopigmentation of large size and much fairer than the surrounding skin.

  Day 0, Day 2, Day 7, Day 21, Day 56

• Change from baseline skin appearance (Edemas, blisters, bubbles, scars, erythema)

  his outcome is a tolerance assessment criteria. Clinical visual evaluation of selected area and surrounded spotless skin area around the spot skin will be performed. A likert scale in 5 points (0 to 4) will be used : 0=none; 1=very mild; 2=mild; 3=moderate; 4=severe.

  Day 0, Day 2, Day 7, Day 21, Day 56

• Change from baseline skin sensation (itching, tingling, burning sensations)

  This outcome is a tolerance assessment criteria. Clinical visual evaluation of selected lentigo spots and around the spot skin will be performed. A likert scale in 5 points (0 to 4) will be used : 0=none; 1=very mild; 2=mild; 3=moderate; 4=severe.

  Day 0, Day 2, Day 7, Day 21, Day 56

• Post treatment pain

  This outcome is a tolerance assessment criteria. The pain of the treatment will be assessed by the VAS (Visual Analogue Scale). Pain intensity is measured in millimeters by the distance from the position of the mark to the "no pain" extremity.

  Day 0

• Other unexpected events

  This outcome concerns the occurence of the adverse events

  at Day0, Day2, Day7, Day21 and Day56

Condition 1

EXPERIMENTAL

All the subjects will receive all the treatment in the same order. The following prototypes will be applied on hands areas: Application of the prototype (812A-v1) at Day 0, Application of the prototype (812C-v1) at Day 0, Application of the prototype (812D-v1) at Day 0, Application of the prototype (812F-v1) at Day 0,

Device: Prototypes (812A-v1), (812C-v1), (812D-v1) and (812F-v1)

Interventions

Prototypes (812A-v1), (812C-v1), (812D-v1) and (812F-v1) DEVICE

All the subjects will receive all the treatment in the same order. On each hand 2 devices will be attributed as follow: * Prototypes (812A-v1) will be applied on an area of the back of the patient's right hand, on healthy skin * Prototypes (812C-v1) will be applied on an area of the back of the patient's right hand, on healthy skin * Prototypes (812D-v1) will be applied on an area of the back of the patient's left hand, on healthy skin * Prototypes (812F-v1) will be applied on an area of the back of the patient's left hand, on healthy skin
