ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two types of laser treatments—CO2 laser and thulium laser—to see how well they help deliver a substance called hyaluronic acid (HA) into the skin. HA is often used to improve skin quality, especially for aging skin, but the usual method of injecting it can cause bumps for a few days. By using lasers first, the researchers want to find out how the skin changes at the microscopic level after HA is applied, which could lead to better results and fewer side effects.

To participate in this trial, you need to be a healthy adult between the ages of 65 and 74, and both men and women are welcome. However, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any open wounds in the area being treated, you won't be able to join. If you decide to participate, you can expect to receive one of the laser treatments followed by the HA application, and the study aims to explore how these methods work together to improve skin quality. This could be an exciting opportunity to contribute to research that may benefit others with similar skin concerns in the future.
