| dc.description.abstract | Abstract: Introduction: Permanent scars are the major complications of acne. Correction of scars is the priority for acne patients. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) may be useful in the treatment of atrophic acne scars by promoting collagen deposition. Skin needling also releases growth factors, initiate a cascade of wound healing resulting in collagen production. Hence, skin needling and PRP should act synergistically to improve acne scars. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of the combined use of skin needling and PRP application in acne scar treatment. Material and Methods: The study enrolled 10 patients of acne scars. Platelet rich plasma therapy with needling was given to them at monthly interval for a therapeutic period of 6 months. The effects of therapy were evaluated based on photographic assessment and patient’s satisfaction. Results: Mean age of the patients was 28.10 ± 5.065. Twenty percent of patients showed excellent response, 80% showed good response. The results were found to be significant with p value < 0.014. Pain and edema were major complaints which subsided in 1-2 days. Conclusion: Platelet rich plasma therapy combined with skin needling is a safe and effective treatment for management of acne scars.
