A total of 26 participants were enrolled in the study and equally randomized into two groups: Group I, the Mesotherapy Group, and Group II, the Laser Group, with 13 participants in each group. Group I received intra-mucosal injection of vitamin C, while Group II was treated with the 980 nm diode laser. The mean age of participants in Group I was 23.00 years, while in Group II it was 21.62 years. The gender distribution in both groups was similar, with 15.4% males and 84.6% females. There was no statistically significant difference observed in terms of mean age or gender distribution between the two groups, as indicated in (Table Demographic variablesStatistically significant difference at All eligible participants included in the study adhered to the treatment protocol without any instances of dropouts or significant adverse effects, as illustrated in the study flowchart.
