Micro-coring device study for non-keloid scar improvement
Part of Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a tiny “micro-coring” device can improve the look of scars. It enrolls adults with certain skin types who have not recently treated the scar and who can safely use numbing medicine used in the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a laser procedure to improve visible skin looseness or scars. You may be eligible if you have a targeted skin area needing treatment and can follow scheduled visits and after-care.
This study tests a device that removes tiny skin cores (“micro-coring”) to improve moderate to severe wrinkles on the face, especially the cheeks. It mainly checks safety and whether skin texture looks better after treatment.
This trial tests a special gel designed to prevent raised, thick scars (hypertrophic scars) after surgery or injury. If you have a new scar from a C-section, breast implant, or clean cut, this study may help reduce scarring.
This study compares two treatments for surgical scars on the upper face: microneedling (tiny needles that stimulate healing) and dermabrasion (smoothing the skin). It aims to find which method works better for improving scar appearance early on.
This trial tests a new eye drop to see if it can safely and effectively reduce corneal scars. It is for people who have a recent corneal injury (within the last month) that resulted in a scar that affects their vision.
This study tests a radiofrequency (heat-based) device designed to improve the appearance of depressed acne scars on the face. The device uses controlled radiofrequency energy to stimulate skin healing and may help scars become less noticeable.
