First seen Jan 30, 2026 · Last updated May 05, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study tested a new treatment for melasma, a stubborn skin condition causing dark patches on the face. Researchers combined umbilical cord stem cell exosomes with a non-ablative fractional laser in 30 adults aged 18 to 60. The goal was to see if this combination could reduce pigmentation and repair skin damage better than laser alone. Results focused on changes in the Melasma Area and Severity Index (MASI) and physician ratings.
