Clinical Trial Summary

This clinical study will compare the efficacy of using one fingertip unit and two fingertip units of 0.05% before and after 30% trichloroacetic acid chemical peel procedure for facial skin rejuvenation in 35-60 years old female patients with Glogau II-III skin classification.

Description:

This study is an experimental study with a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design on patients who met the inclusion criteria. Group A will receive pretreatment in the form of 0.05% tretinoin cream which is used as much as one fingertip unit every night, and group B will receive the same cream which should be used as much as two fingertip units. This cream will be used for two weeks before the patients receive a chemical peeling therapy using 30% trichloroacetic acid. The results of therapy will mainly be assessed based on the Dermoscopic Photoaging Scale (DPAS), as well as visual analog scale (VAS) for subjective symptoms and Clinician Erythema Assessment Scale (CEA) for erythema.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change of Photoaged Skin Condition	using dermoscopic photoaging scale (DPAS). This DPAS assessment is based on yes or no rules on 11 criteria in four facial regions, namely left malar, right malar, forehead, and chin. The criteria were yellowish discoloration, white line, lentigo, hypo- and hyper-pigmented macules, telangiectasia, yellow papules, actinic keratosis, senile comedones, deep wrinkle, superficial wrinkle, and criss-cross wrinkle. Score range is 0-44 points.	Baseline(pre-chemical peeling procedure), immediately after chemical peeling procedure, and 4 weeks after chemical peeling procedure
Primary	Change of Subjective Pain Evaluation	using Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Scale range is 0-10, 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates severe pain	Baseline(pre-chemical peeling procedure), immediately after chemical peeling procedure, and 4 weeks after chemical peeling procedure
Primary	Change of Erythema Degree	using Clinician Erythema Assessment Scale (CEA). Scale range is 0-4, 0 indicates no erythema and 4 indicates severe erythema	Baseline(pre-chemical peeling procedure), immediately after chemical peeling procedure, and 4 weeks after chemical peeling procedure
Primary	Change in Skin Thickness	Evaluation with USG of epidermal and dermal layer (in pixels)	Baseline(pre-chemical peeling procedure) and 4 weeks after chemical peeling procedure
