EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TREATMENT OF ACNE SCARS BY FRACTIONAL CO2 LASER AND COMBINATION OF FRACTIONAL CO2 LASER WITH PLATELET-RICH PLASMA
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of CO2 laser versus the combination of PRP and fractional CO2 laser in treatment of acne scar. Subject and method: A total of 32 cases with post-acne atrophic scars of moderate to severe grade were randomly allotted into Group A and Group B who were treated for three monthly sessions of fractional CO2 laser followed by intradermal PRP injection and fractional CO2 laser monotherapy, respectively. The treatment results were assessed after three months. Result: The mean scar score significantly reduced in both groups. The mean change in score was higher in subjects of Group B. The reduction in scar score was significantly higher in patients with rolling scars and boxcar scars and least in ice pick scars. Erythema, edema, pain, and hyperpigmentation were higher in Group A. Conclusion: Acne scar treatment by fractional CO2 laser is good results and safety. The combined use of fractional CO2 laser and platelet rich plasma achieved better results. It reduced the downtime of the fractional CO2 laser.
