Efficacy and Outcome of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in Acne Scars; A Tertiary Care Hospital Experience

Background: Acne, a widespread skin issue affecting millions globally, not only poses immediate skin health challenges but also results in enduring acne scars, impacting self-esteem and life quality. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has emerged as an innovative treatment to address these scars, offering a regenerative approach. Acne, also known as acne vulgaris, is a chronic skin condition due to clogged hair follicles by oil and dead skin cells, leading to various lesions. While its severity varies, many suffer from acne scars, which can harm self-confidence and mental health. PRP, derived from the patient's blood, contains growth factors, making it a promising solution for scar repair. Numerous studies support its effectiveness, but proper technique and patient selection are crucial for optimal results.
