Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is intended to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new diode fractional laser for skin resurfacing and treatment of pigmented lesions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is a prospective, open-label, clinical trial to study the effects of the nonablative, fractional diode laser for skin resurfacing.

Up to 60 eligible participants will be enrolled at up to three (3) sites. Participants will receive up to 4 treatments to the face, and other off-face locations may be treated. Participants will complete follow-up visits for clinical evaluation and photography at 1 and 3 months after the final treatment.
