Results: After one month of 3rd treatment session, 84% patients stated that they were satisfied or very satisfied on the platelet-rich plasma side, while 7% patients stated this about the normal saline side (P = 0.18).The platelet-rich plasma side was found to have a better response than the control side and participants were more satisfied with the platelet-rich plasma side than the control side.

Conclusion: In conclusion, PRP alone provides better overall clinical improvement. We suggest that PRP should be considered as a monotherapy therapeutic option in the management of acne scars.
