GENEVA, Feb. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Introduction:

In the realm of hyperpigmentation, the quest for more effective and safer options for prevalent and often stubborn pigmentary disorders is ongoing. The latest publication in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology (JDD), February 2024 issue, presents a groundbreaking study that could change the paradigm in the field of hyperpigmentation solutions. The study, led by a team of distinguished pigmentation experts across the globe, introduces a novel dermatological approach that promises equal efficacy to the gold standard with a rapid onset of action and enhanced patient satisfaction.

About the Study:

The research titled "Cysteamine Isobionic-Amide Complex Versus Kligman's Formula for the Treatment of Melasma: Equal Efficacy and Rapid Onset of Action" explores the effectiveness of a new Cysteamine Isobionic-Amide complex in comparison to the Modified Kligman's Formula (mKF), a longstanding cornerstone in melasma treatment. Despite mKF's efficacy, its prolonged use raises concerns due to potential side effects, highlighting the need for alternative treatments.

This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial meticulously assessed the outcomes of 80 patients across three groups, for 16 weeks: those treated with the Cysteamine Isobionic-Amide complex, a placebo, and mKF. Evaluations included the modified Melasma Area Severity Index (mMASI) scores, spectrophotometric analyses, dermatological assessments, and patient-reported feedback and satisfaction, including quality-of-life scores.

Key Findings:

Rapid Onset of Action, on par with Kligman's formula: Remarkably, as early as week 4, the Cysteamine Isobionic-Amide complex demonstrated an onset of action comparable to mKF, significantly reducing melasma severity and improving overall skin condition by week 16.
Significant pigment correction & evening of skin tone, on par with Kligman's formula

Both Cysteamine Isobionic-Amide complex and mKF showed significant decrease in spectrophotometric pigmentation contrast at week 8 and 16, and in mMASI at week 4, 8 and 16 ; with no significant difference between both Cysteamine Isobionic-Amide complex and mKF at each timepoint and for both endpoints (mMASI and pigmentation contrast).

Patient Satisfaction and Quality of Life: Patients treated with the Cysteamine Isobionic-Amide complex reported higher satisfaction levels and a notable improvement in quality of life, positioning this new complex as a viable long-term treatment alternative to mKF.
Potential Implications: The findings suggest that the Cysteamine Isobionic-Amide complex not only matches the efficacy of mKF but also surpasses it in terms of patient experience and safety profile, offering a significant advancement in melasma management.

Comments from the Expert:

"As Scientis pigmentation authority behind Cyspera®, I'm proud to share findings from our recent publication in the JDD February 2024 edition, Volume 23, Issue 2 which meticulously compares our new Cysteamine Isobionic-Amide complex with the gold standard in skin lightening. Results show Cyspera®'s effectiveness, with 96% of patients experiencing significant pigmentation reduction and improved quality of life, reinforcing our commitment to safe, effective hyperpigmentation solutions." - Dr. Kasraee
