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.
