Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests a combination of treatments for sunken (atrophic) scars that are not caused by acne. The goal is to improve the appearance of these scars.
This trial tests a new treatment called exosomes (tiny particles from cells) to improve the appearance of multiple atrophic scars on the face. Atrophic scars are indented or sunken scars. The study aims to see if exosomes can help smooth and improve how these scars look.
This study tests a new treatment that uses fat cells from your own body to improve the appearance of acne scars on both sides of your face. It may help make scars less noticeable.
This trial tests three ways to treat acne scars on the cheeks: using your own fat, fat with platelet-rich fibrin, or fat with microneedling. The goal is to see which combination works best and is safe.
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.
