Doctors test if lasers or tiny punches work better for burn scars
NCT ID NCT03692273
Summary
This study aimed to find out if a laser treatment or a simple punch biopsy works better to improve thick, raised burn scars. Researchers tested three small areas on each participant's scar: one got the laser, one got tiny tissue punches, and one got no treatment. They compared the results over a year using photos, patient surveys, and tissue samples to see which method improved the scar the most.
