Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of two microneedling techniques for treating post-acne atrophic scars: one using autologous Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and the other using topical insulin. Patients with confirmed acne scars who have not undergone treatment in the last six months will be enrolled. The study aims to determine which method yields better results in scar improvement. By comparing these two interventions, the research seeks to provide insights into optimal treatment options for acne scars.
