Study Summary

This trial is testing whether or not laser therapy can help improve the appearance of burn scars. So far, there is evidence that it might be helpful, but more research is needed to know for sure. The laser therapy is expensive, so the researchers want to know if it's worth it before recommending it to patients.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals with burn scars that are 6-12 months old, located on the trunk or limbs. Participants should have a Fitzpatrick skin type I-III and must live in Winnipeg. People with open wounds cannot participate.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?
