This study tests a scar gel to see if it helps with raised or keloid scars, such as those from surgery, injuries, or burns. It might also help prevent new scars from forming.
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 trial compares three creams—chitosan (from shrimp shells), silicone gel, and olive oil—to see which best prevents raised scars after surgery or injury. You may be able to join if you have a fresh scar that healed within the last two weeks.
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 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 trial tests whether applying a magnesium solution to burn scars using a mild electric current can help reduce their thickness and improve how they look. It may make your scar flatter and less noticeable.
