NCT ID NCT07213921
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 14, 2026 · Updated 35 times
Summary
This study tests whether gently removing the top layer of skin (dermabrasion) during Mohs surgery helps scars heal more smoothly. About 30 adults having facial or neck surgery will have half their wound treated with dermabrasion and the other half not, so each person acts as their own comparison. Researchers will check scar appearance 3 and 6 months later using both doctor and patient ratings.
