Sponsor: Northwestern University

This study will conduct a split-face and -body randomized control trial to compare lidocaine 2.5%/prilocaine 2.5% topical anesthetic (LPTA), lidocaine 7%/tetracaine 7% topical anesthetic (LTTA), and placebo vechicle (PV) on patients' pain perceptions with Q-switched 532nm laser for the treatment of lentigines and/or photorejuvenation.Subjects will fill out a pain score on a visual analog scale (VAS) with 0 being no pain and 10 being most pain after each treatment area is completed.
