PRF and laser for burn scars
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a combination of platelet-rich fibrin (a healing substance from your own blood) and fractional CO2 laser therapy to improve the look and feel of burn scars that have fully healed. It is for people with mature, moderate-sized burn scars.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- Your scar is at least 6 months old (mature).
- Your scar is smaller than about 5% of your body surface area (roughly the size of your hand).
- You have not had any other treatment for this scar before.
- Your scar is not a keloid (a thick, overgrown scar).

This study compares two treatments for raised burn scars: a laser alone versus laser combined with a medication called 5-FU. It will help find out which approach works better in reducing scar thickness and symptoms.
This trial is testing how a laser treatment affects scar healing after body contouring surgeries like tummy tucks or arm lifts. If you qualify, you'll get the laser after surgery and be followed for a year.
This trial tests a procedure called nano-fat grafting—injecting tiny amounts of your own fat into burn scars—to improve their appearance and texture. The study focuses on scars on the chest, shoulders, and back that are less than 6 months old.
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.
This study tests whether combining your own blood proteins (PRP) with a fractional CO2 laser can improve moderate-to-severe acne scars more than laser alone. You would have 3 treatment sessions spaced several weeks apart.
This trial compares two treatments—pulsed high-intensity laser and shockwave therapy—to see which works better for reducing thick burn scars. You may join if you have a hypertrophic scar from a burn and are otherwise healthy.
