Comparing pain and healing after two laser treatments on thighs
This study compares two types of lasers (a new DFG laser and a standard CO2 laser) to see which one causes less pain and helps your skin heal better after a fractional laser treatment on your thighs. If you're looking to improve skin texture or reduce signs of aging, this might be an option.
