研究概览
简要总结
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.

- •At least 18 and no more than 65 years old
- •The surgical area closure in these subjects should be at least 4cm
- •Type of surgery scheduled:
- •Site 1: Surgical area closure on thin skin, including areas that require motion (e.g. face, hands, arms, thorax, etc.) Site 2: Surgical area closure on thick skin (abdominoplasty procedure)
- •Willing to comply with study dosing and complete the entire course of the study
排除标准
- •Active bacterial, fungal, or viral infection in the treatment area
- •Active cold sores, or herpes in the treatment area
- •Recent excessive exposure to sunlight or artificial UV light (e.g.: use of tanning beds/booths and/or sunbathing) or expectations of tanning during the time of the study
