Tracking scar changes with 3D cameras after surgery
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study uses special 3D cameras to measure the size of raised scars (called hypertrophic scars or keloids) over time. The goal is to see if these cameras can be a helpful tool for doctors to track how scars change after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had surgery and developed a raised scar (hypertrophic scar or keloid).
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You are willing to have your scar measured with a 3D camera.
- You can understand the study information and give written consent.

This study looks at how keloid scars form by studying the skin cells. You may be able to join if you are at least 18 years old, have a keloid, and are already planning to have surgery to remove it.
This trial tests a new way to treat keloids by injecting medicine directly into the scar. It may help people with thick, raised scars that don't go away on their own.
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 looks at whether removing a keloid with surgery and then applying a radioactive substance (called 32P) can help treat it. The researchers will also watch how well the treatment works over time to see what affects the outcome.
This study compares different ways of taking 3D pictures of the face to see which method is most accurate. If you have a typical face shape and no beard, you might be able to help improve how facial scans are done.
This study tests whether a special microporous tape can help flatten and soften raised scars after surgery. It may be an option if you have a scar that is raised and you want to improve its appearance.
