Laser treatment for burn scars on skin recovering
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether a type of “fractional” laser can improve burn scars. It focuses on scars that are healing well past the initial recovery phase and compares laser therapy as a scar-management option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You live in Winnipeg
- Your burn scar is about 6 to 12 months old
- Your skin type matches Fitzpatrick type I, II, or III
- Your burn scar is a thermal burn on the trunk (chest/abdomen/back) or arms/legs
- You do not have any open wound where the scar is

This study tests whether a pulsed dye laser can help manage fresh burn scars as they heal. You may be a good match if you have a new burn scar and meet skin and health requirements, and if your scar type isn’t likely to form keloids.
This trial tests a gel called FS2 applied after skin graft surgery for burns. It aims to see if the gel can help scars heal better and look less noticeable.
This trial tests a new combination treatment using platelet-rich fibrin (a concentrate from your own blood) and a fractional CO2 laser to improve the look and texture of burn scars. If you have a mature, small burn scar, this could help soften and flatten it.
This study tests a laser treatment that delivers medicine directly into burn scars to make them flatter and less painful. It compares two combinations of medications to see which works better.
This trial tests if combining a special laser with a skin-lightening medicine can safely reduce dark marks from old burn scars.
This study compares two different treatments—pulsed high intensity laser and extracorporeal shockwave therapy—to see which works better for reducing hypertrophic scars (raised, thick scars) caused by burns. If you have a burn scar and are between 20 and 45 years old, this trial may help improve the appearance and flexibility of your scar.
