Laser with insulin vs. PRP for acne scars
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial compares two scar treatments: using a fractionated CO2 laser to deliver either insulin or platelet-rich plasma into atrophic acne scars. The goal is to see which approach improves the appearance of sunken scars more effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two treatments for acne scars: microneedling combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), versus microneedling combined with insulin. The goal is to see which works better for improving scar appearance.
This study tests whether combining your own blood proteins (PRP) with a fractional CO2 laser can improve moderate-to-severe acne scars more than laser alone. You would have 3 treatment sessions spaced several weeks apart.
This study compares three treatments for sunken acne scars: a simple procedure (subcision), subcision with a CO₂ laser, or subcision with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The goal is to see which combination works best for improving the appearance of scars.
This study compares two treatments for acne scars: a carbon dioxide laser and platelet-rich plasma with microneedling. It aims to see which works better for improving the look of acne scars.
This trial compares different procedures to improve atrophic acne scars (depressed or pitted scars). It may help if you have not had treatment in the last one to two months.
This study compares three types of treatments — two lasers and microneedling — to improve depressed acne scars on the face. It is for people with a range of skin tones who have not had recent facial treatments or used certain medications.
