Brief summary

To determine whether following Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser treatment, application of autologous cell suspension obtained via enzymatic and mechanical preparation will reduce negative side effects from CO2 laser and decrease the time of healing following treatment.

Detailed description

The perioral area of the face will be treated with CO2 laser. Laser setting will be determined by the treating surgeon for each individual patient. Typical settings to be used for severe facial photoaging is Energy (mj) 100-125, Scan Size 6-7 mm, Density 2-3, Hertz 100-200, Repeat Delay 0.3-1.5 seconds, number of passes 2. The patient would be randomized and blinded to either left perioral or right perioral RECELL application. The surgeon would also be blinded to which side received RECELL treatment or Placebo (saline spray). Randomization would occur before study initiation with subjects assigned either left perioral or right perioral RECELL treatment based on their subject enrollment number. The study team member who prepares and blinds the RECELL will create the list of subject ID numbers with subject ID number randomly assigned to either left perioral or right perioral treatment group. This will be completed prior to any patient enrollment in the study. This spreadsheet will be password protected and only accessible to study coordinators and the team member responsible for preparing RECELL.

The perioral area of the face will be treated with CO2 laser. Randomization would occur before study initiation with subjects assigned either left perioral or right perioral RECELL treatment based on their subject enrollment number. The study team member who prepares and blinds the RECELL will create the list of subject ID numbers with subject ID number randomly assigned to either left perioral or right perioral treatment group. This will be completed prior to any patient enrollment in the study. Intraoperatively, RECELL and Placebo will be provided to surgeons and assistants in opaque application devices prepared by a trained, designated study team member. Both the treatment and placebo sides, will be dressed with a standard autologous cell suspension post treatment dressing (Telfa Clear and Xeroform).
