Microneedling with PRP vs insulin for acne scars
Part of Skin clinical trials.
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 compares different office-based procedures (like skin needling or fillers) to improve the look of acne scars. It aims to see which treatment works best for making scars less visible.
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 two ways to treat acne scars: a type of laser (CO2) versus tiny needles with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The goal is to see which method improves scar appearance better in everyday use.
This trial tests three ways to treat acne scars on the cheeks: using your own fat, fat with platelet-rich fibrin, or fat with microneedling. The goal is to see which combination works best and is safe.
This study compares a standard scar treatment (subcision) alone versus combining it with either a carbon dioxide (CO₂) laser or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your own blood. It aims to see if adding these treatments improves atrophic acne scars more effectively.
This study compares two ways to treat macular amyloidosis: microneedling alone versus microneedling combined with PRP (using your own blood's healing factors). Half of the affected area gets one treatment, the other half gets the other, so doctors can see which works better. It may help reduce the itchy, dark patches on your skin.
