Poly-L-Lactic Acid Treatment for Depressed Acne Scars
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether injections of poly-L-lactic acid (a safe, absorbable filler material) can improve the appearance of depressed or pitted acne scars. If it works, it may offer patients a non-surgical way to smooth out and reduce the visibility of these scars.
