First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested whether adding botulinum toxin (Botox) to fractional CO2 laser treatment improves raised burn scars more than laser alone. 48 people with hypertrophic burn scars were treated, and scar appearance was measured using standard scales. The goal was to see if Botox, given by injection or through laser-assisted skin delivery, boosts results.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
botulinum toxin type A (Botox)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a better way to treat raised burn scars with fewer injections.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 48 people. Results may not apply to all scar types or skin tones. Botox injections carry risks like bruising or muscle weakness.
