Melanosis Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Pilot Study Comparing the Efficacy of 1064 Q-switch Laser vs. Glycolic Acid Peels for the Treatment of Melasma: A Randomized Control Trial
The purpose of this study is to find out the safety and effectiveness of 1064 Q-Switch Laser Therapy compared to Glycolic Acid Chemical Peels for the treatment of melasma.
Participants in this study will be patients at the dermatology clinic who are clinically diagnosed with at least a 2X2 cm patch of melasma on each side of their face (forehead or cheek). Starting at 2 weeks before treatment (week 2), both sides will be pretreated and primed with 4% hydroquinone with, if necessary, 2.5% hydrocortisone cream BID. On the treatment day (2-weeks) and 6-weeks one half of the subject's face will receive glycolic acid peels and the other half of the face will receive 1064nm Q-switch laser. This study is a pilot study designed to determine feasibility of these procedures. ;
