Naushad Medical Centre, India
Background: Acne scars are the squeal of acne; which causes
cosmetic discomfort, depression, low self-esteem & reduce
quality of life. Microneedling is an established and cost effective
treatment for scars, although the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma
(PRP) has not been explored much.
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the
efficacy and safety of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) combined with
microneedling for the treatment of atrophic acne scars.
Methods: Sixty two patients of 17–34 years of agewith atrophic
acne scars were enrolled. Microneedling was performed on
both halves of the face. Intradermal injections as well as topical
application of PRP (pre activated with calcium chloride) was
given on right half of the face, while the left half of the face
was treated with intradermal administration of distilled water.
Three treatment sessions were given at an interval of 1 month
consecutively. Goodman’s Quantitative scale and Quantitative
scale were used for the final evaluation of results. All the
adverse effects were duly noted and treated.
Results: Right and left halves showed 62.37% and 46.62%
improvement, respectively, on Goodman’s Quantitative scale.
Goodman’s Qualitative scale showed excellent response in 25
(40.32%) patients and good response in 37 (59.68%) patients
over right half of the face, while the left half of the face showed
excellent response in 8 (12.90%) patients, good response in 49
(79.03%) patients and poor response in 5 (8.06%) patients.
Conclusion: We conclude that PRP is safe and efficacious in
the management of atrophic acne scars when combined with
microneedling. It can be also be combined and researched with
other existing modalities of treatment.
