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 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 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 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.
This trial tests a special laser to see if it can safely lighten dark spots that appear after skin inflammation, especially in people with darker skin tones. It may help if you have these spots and they bother you.
This study tests whether a pulsed dye laser can help manage fresh burn scars as they heal. You may be a good match if you have a new burn scar and meet skin and health requirements, and if your scar type isn’t likely to form keloids.
