View clinical trials related to Sun Damaged Skin.
Filter by:Between 2 and 3 million non-melanoma skin cancers and 132,000 melanoma skin cancers occur globally each year. Sun protection continues to be a major public health issue and has always been a priority research area for Pierre Fabre laboratories. The involvement of ultraviolet radiation of the solar spectrum in skin carcinogenesis is well known, through its ability to damage the DNA of skin cells and the induction of oxidative processes. The aim of this exploratory study is to perform the quantification of: - DNA photoproducts excised from the genome by the biological repair systems in urine samples - cellular DNA damage in the epidermis following chronic exposure to natural sunlight. This study will allow us to better understand and quantify the benefit of sunscreens on photoinduced cellular damage and their elimination in urine.
The objective of this study is quantification of singlet oxygen species in the skin after exposure to Ultraviolet A (UVA) light
The purpose of this project is to obtain clinical data, including skin samples, that will help investigators evaluate changes occurring in sun damaged human skin as a result of light that simulates sun exposure (Solar Simulated Light). Of specific interest are the molecular targets for cancer prevention. Molecular targets are the parts of the body's cells that have been shown to play a role in causing or preventing cancer and which scientists seek to affect in a way that may slow or eliminate the development of cancer.
The aim of this study is to determine the erythema-reducing efficacy of a test product in two concentrations on a light sunburn induced by a sun simulator compared to an untreated control and a placebo product.
This study is being conducted to improve standards of care in the cosmetic treatment of sun damage, fine lines, and wrinkles. VI Peels® and Botox® have been used cosmetically to improve patient concerns as monotherapies. This study seeks to confirm that the same-day combination creates no additional side-effects and furthermore that patient satisfaction is heightened as a result.
This is a pilot, phase 2, prospective, comparative study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of Levulan® Kerastick® for Topical Solution and blue light illumination using the BLU-U® Blue Light Photodynamic Therapy Illuminator (LevulanPDT). The study hypothesis is that post solid organ transplantation patients, highly susceptible to non-melanoma skin cancer, can be treated safely and effectively through clinical cyclic application of PDT, lessening morbidity and possible mortality for this immunosuppressed patient population.
Comparison of treatment efficacy and safety of pretreatment with ablative fractional laser versus microdermabrasion combined with large-area photodynamic therapy with methyl aminolevulinate for actinic keratoses
Sun-damaged skin, caused by chronic exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, is characterized by features such as wrinkling, uneven skin color, roughness and brown spots. An effective treatment for sun-damage that is commonly prescribed is topical retinoic acid (RA). However, the major drawback of topical RA use has been frequently observed irritation characterized by redness, dry skin and severe itching. In this study, we examine whether a daily skin care regimen comprised of an ultra mild cleanser and an effective moisturizer can help improve tolerance to RA treatment.
