Summary
This study will assess the feasibility and efficacy of our Virtual Reality Pain Alleviation Therapy (VR-PAT) for pain management during pediatric and young adult outpatient laser procedures and evaluate the impact of VR use on reducing anxiety in patients undergoing dermatologic laser procedures.
The investigators hypothesize that patients using VR-PAT will report less pain and anxiety during the laser procedure than patients who do not play the game.
