NCT ID NCT07300917
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a special laser (1726-nm) to safely reduce Fordyce spots—harmless but cosmetically bothersome bumps on the lips. About 20 adults will receive 2-3 laser treatments and be followed for up to a year to see how well the spots clear and if they are satisfied with the results.
