Summary

This study will compare two common treatments for acne scars: ablative fractional CO2 laser and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) combined with microneedling. 116 adults with moderate to severe atrophic acne scars will receive each treatment on opposite sides of their face. The goal is to see which method improves scars more effectively and safely.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Ablative fractional CO2 laser and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with microneedling
What this could lead to
If this works, it could show which treatment is better for reducing acne scars, helping doctors choose the most effective option.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study that hasn't started yet. Results may not apply to everyone, and both treatments have risks like redness, swelling, or scarring.
