NCT ID NCT07305675
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a gel containing rhGM-CSF can help skin heal faster after laser treatment for atrophic acne scars. Thirty people with similar scars on both sides of their face received laser treatment on both sides, then applied the gel to one side and a placebo to the other for a week. Researchers measured redness, pigmentation, and overall scar improvement to see if the gel made a difference.
