Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In this study, the investigators are looking for healthy volunteers who are eligible to help us to determine the safety and efficacy of ablative fractional laser therapy combined with NanoDOX. The investigators are doing the research to evaluate drug delivery of topical NanoDOX® Hydrogel following ablative fractional CO2 laser treatment and our secondary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of NanoDOX® for wound healing.
Subjects will have a screening visit to determine eligibility, 2 study visits when they will receive CO2 ablative fractional laser treatment, NanoDOX® Hydrogel application, and skin biopsies, and 1 optional study visit for wound healing assessment. Laser procedure will happen only during visit 1, visit 2 will happen 2 days after visit 1, and visit 3 will happen approximately 6 weeks after visit 1. In total, 7 skin biopsies will be performed.

Pilot Arm
Self-controlled 12 healthy subjects receiving an ablative fractional CO2 laser procedure followed by topical application of NanoDOX® Hydrogel
NanoDOX® Hydrogel
NanoDOX® Hydrogel (Doxycycline Monohydrate USP) will be applied on the areas of the skin previously treated by the Co2 Ablative Fractional Laser and also on a small non treated area of the subject's skin
CO2 Ablative Fractional Laser
CO2 Ablative Fractional Laser will be applied to healthy skin areas
