Smoothing Out the Scars: Comparing Platelet-Rich Plasma Forms for Atrophic Acne Scars

Acne scars, those unwelcome reminders of past breakouts, can be a source of discomfort and insecurity. This study investigates the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in treating atrophic acne scars, comparing the results of using PRP in its fluid form versus its gel form. Researchers conducted a split-face randomized clinical trial, treating half of each patient's face with PRP fluid and the other half with PRP gel, in combination with fractional CO2 laser therapy. They found that both PRP fluid and PRP gel, when combined with fractional CO2 laser, significantly improved the appearance of atrophic acne scars, with no significant difference between the two PRP forms. The study suggests that both forms of PRP can be effective treatment options for atrophic acne scars.

The Oasis of Skin Regeneration: Harnessing the Power of Platelet-Rich Plasma

This study explores the potential of PRP, a concentrated source of growth factors derived from blood, for treating atrophic acne scars. The researchers compared the effectiveness of PRP in its fluid form versus its gel form, finding that both forms, when combined with fractional CO2 laser therapy, significantly improved the appearance of these scars. The study highlights the potential of PRP as a valuable tool for skin regeneration and scar treatment.
