Fat injections and lasers join forces to fight stubborn scars
NCT ID NCT07679217
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two treatments—nanofat injections and fractional CO2 laser—used alone or together for post-traumatic atrophic scars (depressed scars from injury). Sixty participants receive one of the three approaches. The goal is to see if combining both treatments improves scar appearance more than either alone, using skin exams and patient feedback.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Autologous nanofat injection and fractional CO2 laser
- What this could lead to
- If successful, combining nanofat with CO2 laser could offer a more effective, minimally invasive way to improve the appearance of traumatic scars.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with no blinding, so results may not be conclusive. Individual results vary, and risks include infection or uneven healing.
