First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early study tested Botox injections on 10 adults with long-lasting keloid scars to see if it could reduce scar size and ease symptoms like itching and pain. The goal was to find a treatment with fewer side effects than standard steroid shots. Researchers also looked at how Botox affects scar tissue at the molecular level.
