First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether adding a laser to standard steroid injections helps treat raised scars (keloids or hypertrophic scars). Twenty people received either steroid injections alone or combined with one of two types of laser. Researchers measured scar appearance using the Vancouver Scar Scale. The goal was to see if the combination works better than injections alone.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Triamcinolone acetonide injection
What this could lead to
If adding laser works better, it could offer a more effective way to reduce the size and severity of raised scars.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, completed study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Lasers can cause temporary redness or discomfort.
