Laser study aims to perfect skin healing doses
NCT ID NCT07561242
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how different laser energy levels affect skin damage and repair. Twenty healthy Chinese women will receive various laser doses on their forearms. Researchers will track changes in skin color, moisture, and healing over 10 days. The goal is to create a model for better post-laser skincare.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Ablative fractional carbon dioxide laser and non-ablative M22 laser
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors choose the best laser settings for skin treatments, improving healing and reducing side effects.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early study in healthy volunteers, not patients. Results may not apply to real-world skin conditions or different skin types.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Approximately 20 healthy Chinese female volunteers, aged 18-60 years with Fitzpatrick skin phototypes III, IV, or V. This population will serve as participants in a self-controlled, observational study to model laser-induced skin injury. Each participant will receive both ablative (CO2) and non-ablative (M22) fractional laser exposures with varying parameters on their inner forearms to observe the dynamic physiological response and recovery process.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Female Chinese study participants aged 18 to 60 years (inclusive). * Fitzpatrick skin phototypes III, IV, or V. * Willing to receive non-ablative fractional laser (M22) and ablative fractional laser (CO2) irradiation on the test sites during the study. * No primary or secondary lesions (such as scars, ulcers, vesicles, tattoos) on the test sites. * Has not participated in any other studies involving the test area (forearms) in the past 2 months. * Agrees not to use skin-whitening products on the test area during the study period. * In good general health at the time of the study. * Volunteers to participate and signs the informed consent form and photo release authorization. * Willing to comply with all requirements of the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Study participants with skin diseases or skin allergies in the test area. * Presence of moderate to severe inflammatory skin diseases (e.g., active eczema, acute photosensitive dermatitis, etc.) on the test sites within the past 4 weeks, or those who require treatment with oral or topical corticosteroids or immunosuppressants for skin conditions. * On the day of the visit, the investigator judges the presence of significant diffuse erythema, desquamation, or exudation in the test area that may significantly affect skin color measurement. * The investigator assesses that the participant is currently suffering from a stable or progressively worsening disease. * Participant is planning for pregnancy, is pregnant, or is breastfeeding (applicable to female participants only). * Participant with immunodeficiency. * Participant has a history of photosensitivity or photoallergy. * Participant has a history of skin cancer or malignant melanoma. * Presence of significant scars, tattoos, surgical incisions, or pigmented lesions (e.g., prominent birthmarks) in the test area that may affect assessment, and in the investigator's judgment, would impede normal imaging or scoring. * Has used high-potency active products containing high concentrations of retinoic acid/retinol, alpha hydroxy acids, salicylic acid, etc., on the test area frequently (≥3 times per week) for an extended period (≥4 weeks) within the past 3 months, which, in the investigator's judgment, may significantly affect skin texture or barrier status. * History of moderate to severe sun exposure (e.g., prolonged outdoor work, travel to seaside/high altitude) within the past 4 weeks, resulting in significant tanning or sunburn in the test area that, in the investigator's judgment, may interfere with study-related readings. * Participation in other clinical or consumer testing projects involving the skin condition of the test area within the past 4 weeks. * Presence of significant mental or cognitive impairment affecting compliance, and the investigator considers the participant unable to understand the study procedures or complete the tests as required.
