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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
ProFractional laser and Broadband Light (BBL) therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a way to make surgical scars look better and feel less itchy or painful.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study at one center. The treatment may not improve scars for everyone, and laser therapy can cause temporary redness or swelling.

Current use of nicotine or nicotine-containing products, including cigarettes, vaping, chewing tobacco, or nicotine replacement therapy, due to the known adverse effects of nicotine on wound healing and scar formation. Any medical condition, treatment, or circumstance that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may increase participant risk, compromise safety, or interfere with study participation or data integrity. Pregnant or breastfeeding women (laser/BBL therapy contraindicated in pregnancy).
