About this trial

Post acne scars are formed as a result of very inflamed and nodulocystic acne. Most common type of acne scars are atrophic scars and they are further classified on the basis of depth and size of destruction into ice pick, boxcar and rolling scars. Evaulating the most efficacious, safe and affordable treatment option is the need of the hour. This study is going to compare the efficacy of microneedling with autologous platelet rich plasma verses microneedling with topical insulin in the treatment of post-acne atrophic scars as to find out the relatively more effective and safer treatment.
