ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different methods of treating scars that result from burns or injuries. The researchers want to find out whether using a method called autologous nanofat injection (which involves using fat taken from the patient's own body) is more effective than using microneedling to deliver the same fat. Both methods aim to help improve the appearance of these scars.

To be eligible for this study, you need to be between 18 and 60 years old and have scars from burns or injuries that have been present for more than six months. It's important that you haven’t received any treatments for these scars in the past three months. The trial is open to both men and women. If you decide to participate, you can expect to receive one of the two treatments and be monitored for how well it works in improving your scars. Remember, this study does not include individuals with certain conditions, like specific types of scars or serious health issues, so make sure to discuss your eligibility with the research team.
