What this trial studies

This is a prospective, single-centre experience and efficacy project of the CE‑marked ADVATx laser system conducted at the University of Szeged Dermatology Department. Participants will receive one ADVATx treatment per month for four months, with each session lasting about 10–30 minutes and a total study duration of roughly five months including follow-up. Outcomes include standardized photographic documentation, a patient-reported satisfaction questionnaire, and monitoring for local side effects such as erythema, hyperpigmentation, oedema, pain, blisters or burns. The ADVATx device uses 589 nm and 1319 nm wavelengths and will be operated only by medically qualified laser personnel.
