Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of fluid platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) compared to platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of atrophic acne scars. The results showed that fluid PRF had a higher therapeutic response than PRP, and the combination with needling further enhanced the effectiveness of both PRF and PRP. Fluid PRF is a highly effective, safe, and simple alternative to PRP for treating acne scars.

Summary: Acne scarring can cause cosmetic and psychological problems. This study compared the efficacy of microneedling alone, intradermal injection of platelet rich plasma (PRP) alone, and combined microneedling with PRP in the treatment of atrophic post-acne scars. The results showed that the combined microneedling with PRP group had better treatment outcomes and was better tolerated in all types of acne scars.
