First seen Nov 06, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This small early-phase study tested whether Botox injections can reduce the size of keloid scars and relieve symptoms like itching and pain. Ten adults with long-standing keloids received Botox, and researchers measured changes in scar volume and patient satisfaction. The goal was to see if Botox works as well as standard steroid treatments but with fewer side effects like skin thinning.
