Summary
This study tests whether using a fractionated CO₂ laser on wound edges during Mohs skin cancer surgery can improve scar appearance. Fifty adults having Mohs surgery will have half their wound treated with the laser and the other half left untreated. Researchers will compare scar quality from both the patient's and doctor's perspective over time.

Active substance
CO2 Fractionated Laser
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple way to improve scar appearance right during skin cancer surgery, reducing the need for later treatments.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 50 people. The laser may not improve scars significantly, and results may not apply to all skin types or healing conditions.
