BACKGROUND: Acne vulgaris is a common condition that often results in secondary cutaneous damage in the form of scarring. Scars require shape-specific scaffolds. Recently, a new 3D gel derived from plasma rich in growth factors technology (PRGF) has been developed with the aim of overcoming these limitations.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to preliminarily assess the clinical performance of the combination therapy with PRGF-gel (PG) and fractional ablative laser for post-acne scar amelioration.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Nine patients suffering from post-acne scars received a combination of PG and fractional ablative laser therapy. Macrophotographs were taken and patients completed a satisfaction survey. Images were also analyzed following the ECCA score. Clinicians were also asked to fulfill a clinical improvement score and any undesired side effects were recorded.
RESULTS: Patients were referred to be highly satisfied as an 8.7 ± 0.9 satisfaction score was achieved. Healthcare specialists objectivated that the scar reduction and overall skin quality at the end of the study had noticeably improved. The ECCA score showed a significant 55% of improvement compared with baseline. No major side effects were recorded, and the tolerance of the treatment was excellent.
CONCLUSION: The combined therapy with PG and fractional ablative laser might help in the management of post-acne scars and overall skin rejuvenation.
