January 2025 in “Dermatologic Therapy” This retrospective study reported significant improvements in keloid scars among 60 patients treated with punch excision and superficial X-ray, with lower Vancouver Scar Scale and Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale scores a year post-treatment and no severe adverse reactions observed.
August 2026 in “npj Regenerative Medicine” This study found that hair follicle micro-graft transplantation significantly improved scar remodeling outcomes in 40 patients, with greater reductions in scar volume, lower scar scores, and enhanced skin characteristics compared to punch excision alone, potentially due to activation of the PI3K-AKT pathway.
