结局指标
主要结局
Success rate of treatment according to RL*I
时间窗: Baseline, 1 week after final treatment
The success rate is determined by the change rate (%) of the relative lightness measured before the treatment (day of screening) and 1 week after the final treatment.
次要结局
- Subject satisfaction (5-point scale questionnaires on subject's satisfaction)(1 week and 12 weeks after the final treatment)
- mMASI (modified Melasma Area Severity Index) evaluation(Baseline, 1 week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks after the final treatment)
- Relative skin lightness using the colorimeter(RL*I)(Baseline, 1 week, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks after the final treatment)
