TLDR A new filler made from patients' own skin and hair significantly improved depressed scars with no severe complications.
The study investigated a new autologous tissue filler derived from skin and hair for the treatment of moderate to severe depressed facial scars. The treatment involved subcision, a technique where a needle is inserted under the skin to break up fibrous tissue. The results indicated that this method provided long-lasting improvements in the appearance of facial scars. The study highlighted the potential of using autologous tissue fillers as a viable and effective option for patients seeking to improve the appearance of their scars.
