Laser vs cold for upper lip tie release
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to do a frenectomy (a small procedure to release the tight tissue under your upper lip) – using a laser or using extreme cold (cryotherapy). The goal is to see which method works better and causes less discomfort.
