Laser treatment for keratosis pilaris on arms
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a special laser (1927-nm thulium) to see if it safely reduces the rough bumps of keratosis pilaris on both upper arms. If you have KP on your arms and haven't had laser or radiation there recently, you may be able to join.

This trial tests a new gel and light treatment for actinic keratosis (rough, sun-damaged spots) on the arm. It aims to see if it can safely remove these spots and prevent new ones.
This trial tests whether a type of laser treatment can help protect older adults’ skin from turning actinic keratosis (a sun-related precancer) into more serious skin problems. It focuses on the forearms and may help reduce future skin damage while checking safety and comfort.
This study tests a combination of three laser treatments to improve signs of sun damage on the face, such as rough texture, brown spots, and fine wrinkles. It may help people with mild to moderate sun damage who have not had recent cosmetic facial procedures.
This study tests if a laser treatment on your forearms can prevent precancerous spots (actinic keratoses) from developing in older adults with fair skin. You would receive the laser on one arm and a sham treatment on the other, and your skin will be monitored.
This trial tests how a new drug works in people with actinic keratosis (rough, scaly patches caused by sun damage) on their upper arms or face. You will receive the treatment and have blood samples taken to see how your body processes the medication.
This study measures how skin changes after two types of laser treatments (gentler and stronger) on the forearm. Researchers want to understand how these lasers work on darker skin types to improve safety and results.
