An Assessment of the Efficacy and Safety of Employing a Duosomal Chemical Peel for Aesthetic Enhancement in the Periocular and Facial Regions (AESEDCPAEPFR)

February 3, 2026 updated by: Instituto de Oftalmología Fundación Conde de Valenciana
This study will employ an experimental, prospective, longitudinal, and comparative before-and-after design. The objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of duosomal chemical peels as agents for enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the periocular and facial regions

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Participants aged over 21 years will be included in the study. They will receive an application of salicylic acid to the facial surface through continuous massaging for a duration of five minutes, facilitating the exfoliation of the superficial epidermal layers. Subsequently, a specific medication will be administered based on the skin characteristics and the intended treatment objective: salicylic acid for individuals predisposed to oily skin and acne, mandelic acid for those with irregular pigmentation and hyperpigmentation, lactic acid for individuals with sensitive skin, and glycolic acid for those with wrinkles and pigmentation changes due to aging. A moisturizer will then be applied and massaged continuously, allowing it to act for five minutes. These treatments will be administered weekly over a four-week period. Improvement as reported by the study participants will be evaluated using the Face-Q and SASSQ (Scientific Assessment Scale of Skin Quality) questionnaires. The SASSQ is an objective scale completed by the researcher, assessing loss of elasticity, wrinkles, roughness, pigmentation, erythema, and pore size on a scale from 0 to 4, where 0 denotes absence of the parameter and 4 indicates very severe changes. The FACE-Q is a subjective scale completed by the participants, ranging from 1 to 4, where 1 signifies very dissatisfied and 4 signifies very satisfied. Descriptive statistics of the demographic variables will be conducted, and analytical statistics using the Wilcoxon test will be employed to compare baseline and final results at the conclusion of the treatment. A p-value of less than 0.05 will be considered statistically significant.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Individuals aged 21 years and older, both male and female, who seek enhancement of the periocular and facial regions will be considered for recruitment. Participants must agree to the study conditions, consent to the follow-up period as proposed, and provide informed consent for the procedure.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Individuals with psychiatric disorders, those exhibiting symptoms indicative of body dysmorphia, and those who have undergone facial filler treatments within the six months preceding the procedure. Elimination criteria: Participants who fail to adhere to follow-up protocols during the designated periods; those who receive additional treatments such as mesotherapy, botulinum toxin, chemical peeling, or facial fillers in the same area during the follow-up period; and those who, during the follow-up period, develop any debilitating illness or conditions resulting in a wasting/emaciation syndrome.
