First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether injecting exosomes—tiny particles from cells that help repair skin—can improve depressed scars better than a saltwater placebo. Twelve adults with atrophic scars will receive both treatments on different scars, without knowing which is which. The goal is to see if exosomes safely make scars look and feel better.
