1550-nm Non Ablative Laser (Fraxel) Versus Ablative 10,600-nm Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Fractional Laser in the Treatment of Surgical and Traumatic Scars: A Comparison Study on Efficacy, Treatment Regimen, and Cost.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Fraxel Laser and CO2 Laser for Scar. Completed, enrolled 100 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the 1550-nm non-ablative Fraxel laser (referred to as Fraxel Laser in this application) to the ablative 10,600-nm carbon dioxide fractional laser (referred to as CO2 Laser in this application) to determine if one is superior to the other in improving the appearance of scars over a series of three treatments. In addition, the investigators hope to identify a more cost-effective method to improve the appearance of scars caused by surgery or trauma.
