      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: After being selected by available method, patients are divided into two groups by simple randomization, so that among 16 sealed bags, one bag will be randomly selected for each patient. Each bag contains the letter a or b: a for the group receiving botulinum toxin type A and cross-linked hyaluronic acid and b for the group receiving botulinum toxin type A and non cross-linked hyaluronic acid, Blinding description: For group a patients, a combination of botulinum toxin type A and cross-linked hyaluronic acid is injected once, and for group b patients, a combination of botulinum toxin type A and non cross-linked hyaluronic acid is injected twice with a month interval. The patient does not know in which treatment group he is.
In order to evaluate, in two groups, before treatment, 1 month later and then 3 and 6 months after one month follow-up, the severity of icepick scars is measured qualitatively and quantitatively by Visioface and also the rate of improvement with Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) is determined by the patient and a blind dermatologist.
Finally, the statistician, who also does not know which drug combination was injected in each group, analyzes the results of the study.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group 1: For patients in this group, a combination of botulinum toxin type A and cross-linked hyaluronic acid is injected once. For injection, botulinum toxin type A: Dysport® (abobotulinumtoxinA) with 300 units/vial is dissolved with 2 cc of normal saline and then, depending on the extent of the scar and the treated area, each volume of Dysport is drawn in the BD lower lock syringe, is mixed and diluted five times with cross-link hyaluronic acid through the interface 30 times. So that each small line of BD syringe contains 0.6 units of Dysport (microbotax). Cross-link hyaluronic acid used has low G prime of the NEAUVIA 22mg or INTENCE / REOLOGY brand. This injection is performed after local anesthesia with XylaP cream for 45 minutes and then wiping it with an alcohol swab, with Gauge 27 mesotherapy needle and under the scars intradermally. Intervention 2: Intervention group 2: For patients in this group, a combination of botulinum toxin type A and non cross-linked hyaluronic acid is injected twice with 1 month interval. For injection, botulinum toxin type A: Dysport® (abobotulinumtoxinA) with 300 units/vial is dissolved with 2 cc of normal saline and then, depending on the extent of the scar and the treated area, each volume of Dysport is drawn in the BD lower lock syringe, is mixed and diluted five times with non cross-link hyaluronic acid through the interface 30 times. So that each small line of BD syringe contains 0.6 units of Dysport (microbotax). Non cross-link hyaluronic acid used has REVITACARE 532 CYTOCARE brand. This injection is performed after local anesthesia with XylaP cream for 45 minutes and then wiping it with an alcohol swab, with Gauge 30 mesotherapy needle and under the scars intradermally.</i_freetext>
