we already have a few lasers to pick one, the thing about this laser is that it says "10 treatments within a 3 month time span"
doesnt sound to strong

Thanks for the info Binga! Did you call yet? Do you know what skin types they're looking for?

I agree that it probably won't be an intensive treatment considering the number of sessions, but hey if you get in it's free treatment.

I have an appt on Tuesday for the screening. I'll report back then.

It's possible this study is for ablative fractional co2 laser. I met with a doctor a couple days ago who said there are current research studies in the USA that have shown repeating ablative fractional Co2 laser every 2-3 months offers better improvement to mature scars because new collagen responds better to treatment. He even mentioned a study that came out of Pakistan where they repeated laser treatment every 1-2 months on some patients, and those patients had a better response rate. I have not seen the study though. It will be interesting to see what this study is about.

Good luck, mccoy110c. I hope this works out for you.

Where are you quoting this from? This is what I am seeing, "Study participants must be 18-85 years of age with facial, body or acne scars. You will receive up to 10 treatments scheduled 4-8 weeks apart."
