Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (7)

  • The range, quantity and degree of facial erythema

    After cleansing the face with Visia, take a rest for 30 minutes at room temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and then take frontal and lateral images.

    Before the first treatment, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks

  • Erythema score

    Assessment of lesion morphology score: No visible erythema under natural light = 0 points; Mild erythema can be observed under natural light, presenting as pale red, not obvious at a distance of 50 cm, and can be covered by simple makeup or beard covering = 2 points; Moderate erythema can be observed under natural light, presenting as red, obvious at a distance of 50 cm, and simple makeup or beard covering is not sufficient to cover = 4 points; Severe erythema can be observed under natural light, presenting as bright red, still obvious at a distance of more than 50 cm, and simple makeup or beard covering is insufficient to cover = 6 points. Weighted coefficient for the number/area of lesions: 1-10/5%-10% = 1, 11-20/11%-20% = 2, \>20/20% = 3. Total score of lesion severity = Morphology score × Weighted coefficient. Based on the score, calculate the therapeutic index, therapeutic index = (Total score before treatment - Total score after treatment) / Total score before treatment × 100%

    Before the first treatment, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks

  • TEWL

    The skin non-invasive detector conducts the test.

    Before the first treatment, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks

  • MI

    The skin non-invasive detector conducts the test.

    Before the first treatment, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks

  • L*a*b

    The skin non-invasive detector conducts the test.

    Before the first treatment, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks

  • The moisture content of the stratum corneum

    The skin non-invasive detector conducts the test.

    Before the first treatment, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks

  • Skin elasticity

    The skin non-invasive detector conducts the test.

    Before the first treatment, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks

EXPERIMENTAL

On the day of enrollment, the treatment was carried out after the completion of the detection items (gold microneedle + 30% salicylic acid on half of the face). A site follow-up was conducted one week later, and then follow-ups were conducted every two weeks for the second and third acid brushing treatments. Follow-up visits were also conducted every four weeks at the 8th and 12th weeks. The follow-up contents included: Visia photography, camera photography, non-invasive skin examination, questionnaire assessment, etc. The study duration was 12 weeks.

Drug: Gold micro-needles combined with salicylic acid

Interventions

Gold micro-needling treatment

On the day of enrollment, the treatment was administered (gold microneedle + 30% salicylic acid on half of the face) after the completion of the detection items. A site follow-up was conducted one week later, and a follow-up was carried out two weeks later with the second acid brushing treatment. A follow-up was conducted four weeks later with the third acid brushing treatment. Follow-up was also conducted at the eighth and twelfth weeks. The follow-up contents included: Visia photography, camera photography, non-invasive skin examination, questionnaire assessment, etc. The study duration was 12 weeks.
