PRP - Clinical studies for scar reduction.

PRP can be used for the management of various types of scars, including acne scarring and stretch marks. An article published by S Chawla in Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery, demonstrated that “microneedling combined with PRP proved to be good in treating boxcar and rolling scars but had limited efficacy in dealing with ice pick scars.”

In another study, Zhu et al., combined PRP with erbium fractional laser for the management of facial acne or acne scars. The authors noted “PRP combined with erbium fractional laser therapy is an effective and safe approach for treating acne scars or acne, with minimal side-effects, and it simultaneously enhanced the recovery of laser-damaged skin.”

For the management of stretch marks both Suh et al., and Kim et al., demonstrated that PRP, in combination with radiofrequency, is an effective treatment for the management of stretch marks.
