Fractional Laser for Metabolism Disorder
This study is testing if fractional laser treatments can help improve metabolism in adults. Researchers will use a device called a Fractional Laser to treat the abdomen and thighs. They are looking for 15 adults between 18 and 60 years old with a Body Mass Index (BMI) between 25 and 30 kg/m2. The main goals are to see how the laser affects your body fat percentage, BMI, and waist circumference. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
- Study design
- This is a small, open-label study, meaning both you and the researchers will know you are receiving the laser treatment. It plans to enroll 15 participants.
- What's involved
- You would receive three fractional laser treatments over 36 weeks, with sessions every four weeks. This involves six total visits, including photography, non-invasive imaging, x-rays, blood draws, and two optional biopsies.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your body fat percentage will be measured at weeks 1, 12, and 24. Your BMI and waist circumference will be measured at weeks 0, 4, 8, 12, and 24.

What this trial measures
- Percent Body Fat (%)Week 1, 12, 24
The percent body fat will be collected from the Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scan (DEXA) and via the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA).
- Body Mass Index (BMI) (kg/m²)Week 0, 4, 8, 12, 24
BMI will be calculated using the formula: weight (kg) / \[height (m)\]². Height will be measured at the baseline visit and body weight will be measured at each of the following visits.
- Waist circumference (cm)Week 0, 4, 8, 12, 24
These measurements will be taken at each of the following visits
- Hip circumference (cm)Week 0, 4, 8, 12, 24
These measurements will be taken at each of the following visits
- Arm circumference (cm)Week 0, 4, 8, 12, 24
These measurements will be taken at each of the following visits
- Total Lean Body Mass (kg)Week 1, 12, 24
The total lean body mass will be collected from the Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scan (DEXA) and via the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA).
