ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called "Bridging the Healing Gap," is exploring whether a treatment called CO2 Lift can help reduce bruising and pain after liposuction surgery. Researchers want to know if using CO2 Lift leads to less bruising by the seventh day after surgery compared to a placebo treatment (which is just Vaseline) and how it affects patients' pain levels and overall satisfaction with their recovery.

To participate in this study, adults aged 18 to 65 who are scheduled for liposuction (with or without other procedures) may be eligible. However, those who are pregnant, have severe skin issues, or significant health problems won’t qualify. Participants will receive CO2 Lift on one side of their body and Vaseline on the other after surgery, and their recovery will be monitored through photos and pain assessments over the following week. This trial is currently recruiting participants who are looking for ways to enhance their recovery experience after liposuction.
