Laser or platelet-rich plasma boost for acne scars
Part of Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older).
- You have mild to severe atrophic (sunken) acne scars.

- You do not have active acne or skin infections in the treatment area.
- You have not used oral retinoids (like isotretinoin) in the past 6 months.

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 a combination of treatments for sunken (atrophic) scars that are not caused by acne. The goal is to improve the appearance of these scars.
This study tests a special laser treatment for people with acne scars. It aims to see if the laser helps improve the appearance of scars with minimal side effects.
This trial tests a new combination treatment using platelet-rich fibrin (a concentrate from your own blood) and a fractional CO2 laser to improve the look and texture of burn scars. If you have a mature, small burn scar, this could help soften and flatten it.
This study tests a combination of two procedures: injecting your own fat (nanofat) into depressed scars and treating them with a special laser (fractional CO2 laser). The goal is to see if this combination improves the look of scars left by injuries better than laser alone.
