First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a special laser (2910 nm) to treat deep wrinkles around the mouth in 20 adults aged 50-80. Participants get up to two treatments, with follow-ups at 1 and 3 months. Doctors and independent reviewers will check if the wrinkles look better, and track any side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 2910 nm erbium-doped fluoride fiber glass laser (UltraClear)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a safe, effective laser option for reducing deep wrinkles around the mouth without surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early trial with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The laser may cause temporary redness or swelling, and improvement may be modest.
