Objective To determine the outcome of combination of microneedling with PRP in patients with post acne atrophic scars attending the Dermatology Department in a tertiary care hospital of Lahore. Methods A descriptive case series was performed on a total of 60 patients with post acne scars who fulfilled a predefined inclusion criterion. An informed consent was taken. Relevant information about the patient's demographic data and grade of acne scarring was noted along with baseline photography. All patients were given three sessions of microneedling with PRP at one month intervals, using standard treatment protocol and the scars were graded four weeks after the 3rd session using the same grading system. Photographs were taken at each visit and 3 weeks after the last visit. The effectiveness of treatment was determined as per decided operational definition. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 17. Results Total of 60 patients completed the study, having mean age of 28.65 years. Most of them were females. The effectiveness of treatment in terms of reduction in grade of acne scarring in one or more grades from baseline was observed in 78.33% (47), while in 21.67% (13) treatment was not effective. Conclusion Microneedling combined with topical PRP is effective in treatment of post acne atrophic scars. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
