Skin response to fractional laser treatments in darker skin tones
Part of Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are female and between 18–60 years old
- Your skin tone is darker (Fitzpatrick types III, IV, or V)
- Your forearms have no scars, tattoos, sores, or significant marks
- You have no active skin conditions like eczema or dermatitis in the past 4 weeks
- You are willing to have two types of laser treatment on your forearms and avoid skin-lightening products during the study

This study tests a laser procedure to improve visible skin looseness or scars. You may be eligible if you have a targeted skin area needing treatment and can follow scheduled visits and after-care.
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.
This study compares two types of lasers, long-pulsed Nd:YAG and fractional CO₂, to see which works better for making skin look younger. It may help if you have moderate to significant signs of skin aging.
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 treatment that combines a laser with an injected biostimulator to help repair sun-damaged skin. It aims to improve the appearance of age spots, redness, and other signs of sun damage.
This study tests whether a special skin care routine using nanodiamond technology can improve healing and results after ablative laser resurfacing, a treatment that removes the top layers of skin to reduce wrinkles and sun damage. If you're planning this laser treatment, the study will provide the skin care products to use before and after, so you don't need to buy them yourself.
