Laser zaps acne? small trial fizzles out
NCT ID NCT04466527
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a fractional carbon dioxide laser can improve moderate to severe acne in adults aged 18 to 40. Participants received up to 3 laser treatments and were followed for changes in blemish count and skin severity. The trial was terminated early and only enrolled 4 people, so results are very limited.
