TLDR Microneedling with PRP effectively improves atrophic acne scars.
The review article evaluates the use of microneedling combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for treating atrophic post-acne scars. It highlights that while microneedling and fractional CO2 laser are effective treatments, PRP alone has also shown positive outcomes. The integration of PRP with microneedling has been found to reduce recovery time and toxicity, suggesting an enhanced therapeutic approach for managing atrophic acne scars.
