Scar Prevention Using Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser Treatment

NCT01826942 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 10

Last updated 2014-03-26

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In this study the investigators intend to determine the impact of fractional CO2 laser treatment on the edges of a fresh wound during surgical area closure on thin skin (e.g. face, hands, arms, thorax, etc.) and on thick skin (abdominoplasty procedure) on scar formation. The investigators will also evaluate the effect of shallow fractional laser treatment versus deep parameters settings. If effective treatments could be performed at time of surgery, this would result in both time and cost saving to the patient and to the healthcare system and will improve patient's self-image post surgeries.
