This study tests a device that uses radiofrequency energy (a type of heat) to improve the look of acne scars on the face. It may help reduce the depth and visibility of scars over time.
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.
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 study tests an injectable gel called ELAPR002f for treating moderate to severe atrophic acne scars on the cheeks. If you have rolling or boxcar scars and are in good general health without active acne or other skin issues, this trial may help improve your scars.
