First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether early treatment with ProFractional laser and Broadband Light (BBL) can improve the look and feel of scars after body-contouring surgeries like tummy tucks or arm lifts. About 150 adults will take part, with some receiving up to three laser sessions and others getting standard care. Researchers will check scar appearance and symptoms using patient surveys and photos over six months.
