Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With at Least a 1-Grade Worsening From Baseline in the Clinician's Telangiectasia Assessment (CTA) at Any Time-pointBaseline (Day 1) to Day 56

The investigator will assess the overall severity of telangiectasia (spider veins) on the participant's facing using a 5-point scale where 0=Clear skin with no signs of telangiectasia to 4=Severe, with the presence of many visible telangiectasia. The percentage of participants with at least a 1-point worsening (increase) in the score compared to Baseline at any time-point will be reported.

Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AE) and Serious Adverse Events (SAE)Baseline (Day 1) to Day 56

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal product that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not it is related to the medicinal (investigational) product. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence or effect that, at any dose: Results in death, Is life-threatening, Requires or prolongs inpatient hospitalization, Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity or Results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect.

Percentage of Participants With at Least a 1-Grade Improvement From Baseline in the Clinical Erythema Assessment Scale at Any Time-pointBaseline (Day 1) to Day 56

The investigator will assess erythema in the treatment area using a 5-point scale. (Grade 0= Clear Skin with no signs of erythema, Grade 1=Almost clear of erythema, slight redness, Grade 2=Mild erythema, definite redness, Grade 3= Moderate erythema, marked redness, Grade 4=Severe erythema, fiery redness). The percentage of participants with at least a 1-point improvement (decrease) in the score compared to Baseline at any time-point will be reported.
