Post-acne atrophic scars (PAS) are a common complication of acne, and their treatment can be limited in people of color due to dyspigmentation and scarring risks. This split-face study compared the efficacy of microneedling with topical insulin (TI) on one side of the face with microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on the other side for the treatment of PAS. The study included 50 participants with Fitzpatrick skin types III to VI who had never been treated for PAS.

- Chemotherapy can improve survival rates in cancer patients but often leads to adverse effects, particularly nail changes, that impact quality of life (QoL) significantly.
- A study involving 188 patients on chemotherapy found that nail changes were associated with lower QoL scores, especially affecting younger patients and women more severely.
- The research emphasizes the need for healthcare providers to counsel patients about potential nail changes during treatment to help manage psychological and social issues related to these cosmetic concerns.
Background: Severe post-acne scarring has been implicated as a cause of considerable psychological distress, mainly among adolescents. Subcision and microneedling are cutting-edge treatment options available nowadays.
Aim: In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy of microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) against subcision with PRP in treating atrophic post-acne scars in a split-face study design.
