Abstract
Abstract:Acne is a common problem that can also leave behind permanent scarring leading to low self-esteem. Various treatment modalities can help dealing with these acne scars. The aim of this study is to compare efficacy of PRP with dermaroller against with PPP with dermaroller. A prospective study of 31 patients was done. After microneedling, PRP and PPP was applied on each side of face. The procedure was repeated every four weeks and scars were evaluated by Goodman and Barron grading system. Significant improvements were found on both sides of face and no substantial difference was observed on either of the treated sides. Also dermaroller therapy showed improvement in rolling type and boxcar types of acne scars only. Dermaroller is a safe and affordable device used with or without PRP and PPP for treatment of post acne scars Keywords: Post acne scars, Microneedloing, PRP, PPP, Goodman and Barron grading.
