Plain-language summary
This study evaluates enhanced photoaging reversal efficacy and safety of 755nm alexandrite picosecond laser with diffractive lens array (DLA) in conjunction with integrated skin care for skin quality improvement. It is a single-center, evaluator-blinded, randomized spilt-face design. It is expected to recruit 35 patients whose face with simple pigmentation and photoaging in Dr. Lin's Dermatology Clinic.
Each subject will receive both treatment and control procedures according to the side = 1:1 ratio randomly assigned in two spilt-face usage. One spilt-face side is undergoing the treatment procedure with combination skin care products (CE/DD/242), and regular moisturizing product and sunscreen (Phyto Corrective Gel and Advanced Brightening UV Defense SPF50 PA++++). Another spilt-face side is undergoing the control procedure: regular moisturizing product and sunscreen (Phyto Corrective Gel and Advanced Brightening UV Defense SPF50 PA++++). This study includes a total of 3 cycles of treatment (weeks 0-4, 4-8, and 8-12). After each cycle, the effect and satisfaction of the treatment were evaluated once (weeks 4, 8, and 12). For redness/swelling outcome, the self-reported effect will be collected by phone call, or being evaluated by visit within 3 day after additional visits (0w+3d, 4w+3d, and 8w+3d).
Generalized linear mixed models will be used to assess whether the patterns of change in the mean response/proportion of each endpoint over time are the same in the treatment procedure and the control procedure. Among the primary endpoint family, either one with statistically significant will meet the study success criteria. The endpoints include (1) Wrinkles (2) Ultraviolet spots (3) Brown spots (4) Texture (5) Red blood vessels (6) Pores (7) Porphyrin (8) Hydration (9) Elasticity (10) Physician's general assessment (12) Subject satisfaction. All statistical analysis will be implement in SAS 9.4 and STATA 18.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
