Abstract

Background: When the sebaceous follicle is damaged during acne inflammation, improper healing can occur, resulting in scarring. There are two types of acne scars: atrophic and hypertrophic. Atrophic scars can be further classified as rolling scars, icepick scars, or boxcar scars. Chemical peels, dermabrasion, microneedling, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), as well as the punch elevation technique are only few of the methods utilized to treat these scars. Objective: Assessment of use of microneedling with platelet rich plasma for management of atrophic post-acne scars. Methods: We scoured medical publications and databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct for information on Platelet Rich Plasma and Atrophic Post-Acne Scars between October 2000 and March 2021. However, only the latest or most comprehensive study was considered. The authors also assessed the usefulness of references drawn from similar books. Non-English documents have been overlooked due to a lack of resources to translate them. It was commonly recognised that scientific research did not include things like unpublished publications, oral presentations, conference abstracts, or dissertations. Conclusion: Atrophic acne scars can be treated with microneedling as well as fractional CO2 laser, but platelet-rich plasma has also been used on its own with positive results. Incorporating PRP into skin microneedling has decreased recovery time and toxicity.
