Fat grafting for burn and trauma scars
Part of Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This trial compares two methods of using your own fat to improve old burn or accident scars. It tests whether injecting the fat or using a special stamp-like device (microneedling) works better for making scars softer and less noticeable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a combination of two procedures: injecting your own fat (nanofat) into depressed scars and treating them with a special laser (fractional CO2 laser). The goal is to see if this combination improves the look of scars left by injuries better than laser alone.
This trial uses your own fat (nano-fat) to improve the look and feel of burn scars that are less than 6 months old on your chest, shoulders, or back. It aims to reduce scar hardness and redness, making the scar blend better with your skin.
This trial tests whether using your own fat cells can help heal wounds or burns that need surgery. It is for adults who have had a fasciotomy, full-thickness skin loss, or burns, and are willing to receive a fat graft.
This study tests whether injecting special cells from your own fat can improve the appearance and texture of thick, raised scars from old burn injuries. Researchers hope this treatment may help soften scars and restore more normal-looking skin.
This trial tests if using your own fat cells during scar surgery helps heal better. If you need surgery to release a tight scar, you may be able to receive a fat graft from your own body.
This trial tests three ways to treat acne scars on the cheeks: using your own fat, fat with platelet-rich fibrin, or fat with microneedling. The goal is to see which combination works best and is safe.
