Vitamins Infused into Skin by Lasers

In a study published in Lasers in Surgery and Medicine (March 2016), Jill Waibel, MD, et al, investigated whether laser-assisted delivery of vitamins C and E plus ferulic acid immediately following fractional ablative laser treatments would improve wound healing. Their secondary objectives were to evaluate the potential molecular markers involved in that wound-healing process.

Dr. Waibel, et al, concluded that use of the antioxidant serum correlated with more rapid healing after fractional ablative laser treatments and that “elevated bFGF could be involved in the Vitamin C, E, and Ferulic acid-induced rapid wound healing.”
