The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the 3 different prototype of cyto-selective cryotherapy devices (name of the devices : CRYONOVE) use in brown spots on the face of subject from different ethnicities. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• the tolerance of 3 prototypes of cyto-selective cryotherapy treatments
• the performance of 3 prototypes of cyto-selective cryotherapy treatments

Participants will be treated for each spots with a definied prototype during 6 treatment visits.

Researchers will compare the tolerance and performance of the 3 prototypes.
