Burn Scar Improvement Using Fat-Derived Cells
This study tests whether injecting special cells from your own fat can improve the appearance and texture of thick, raised scars from old burn injuries. Researchers hope this treatment may help soften scars and restore more normal-looking skin.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have thick, raised burn scars that are more than 2 years old on your chest or arms/legs
- You have at least two separate scar areas (each 6 cm x 6 cm) that are at least 2 cm apart
- You can understand the study information and follow instructions
- You have not had steroid injections or creams on your scars in the past year
- You have not had scar surgery in the affected areas within the past year

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 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 trial tests if using your own fat cells during scar surgery helps heal better. If you need surgery to release a tight scar, you may be able to receive a fat graft from your own body.
This early-phase study tests whether “preconditioned” stem cells from fat tissue can improve the look of fat transferred during liposuction and grafting. If you qualify, you may receive stem cells along with fat grafting to see how well it works and how safe it is.
This trial tests whether using your own fat cells can help heal wounds or burns that need surgery. It is for adults who have had a fasciotomy, full-thickness skin loss, or burns, and are willing to receive a fat graft.
This trial tests a procedure called nano-fat grafting—injecting tiny amounts of your own fat into burn scars—to improve their appearance and texture. The study focuses on scars on the chest, shoulders, and back that are less than 6 months old.
