New study tests laser and PRP boost for acne scar treatment
NCT ID NCT07199608
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares three approaches for treating atrophic acne scars: subcision alone, subcision plus fractional CO2 laser, and subcision plus platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Forty-two adults with mild to severe scars will receive treatment on different sides of the face to see which combination works best. The goal is to find a more effective way to improve scar appearance and patient satisfaction.
