Effectiveness and Safety of a Hydrating Gel Containing Polyvinyl Pyrrolidine, Algin and Hyaluronic Acid Applied After and Without Fractional CO₂ Laser Therapy
Sponsor: Dr.dr.Irma Bernadette, SpKK (K)
Summary
The purpose of this interventional study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a hydrating gel containing aqua, carrageenan, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, algin, gellan gum, and hyaluronic acid. The study will assess the gel's ability to support optimal skin recovery following fractional CO₂ laser therapy and its effectiveness and safety as a daily adjunctive skincare treatment. Outcomes related to skin hydration, skin barrier function, tolerability, and adverse events will be evaluated throughout the study period. Female participants aged 18 to 60 years who provide informed consent will be enrolled in this study. Participants will undergo a 2-week priming period with topical tretinoin prior to fractional CO₂ laser treatment. Clinical evaluations will be performed at baseline, immediately after the laser procedure, and on Days 3, 7, and 14 post-treatment. Assessments conducted by a board-certified dermatologist will include dermoscopy, TEWAmeter assessment, erythema assessment, and evaluation of pain and discomfort using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS).
