This study tests whether a single session of fractionated laser resurfacing on one forearm can reduce precancerous spots (actinic keratosis) and prevent future non-melanoma skin cancers in older adults with fair skin. Participants are at least 60 years old and have had actinic ke…

This study tests whether a laser treatment called fractionated laser resurfacing (FLR) can protect the forearms of older adults from precancerous spots (actinic keratoses) and non-melanoma skin cancer. Participants are 60 or older with fair skin and at least five precancerous spo…
