Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   This study is done to observe the efficacy of MNRF (Microneedling radiofrequency) with PRP (Platelet rich plasma) or MNRF alone in treating acne scars. We will be assessing the qualitative, quantitative and subjective improvement using relevant grading system. This study will not be comparing MNRF alone and MNRF with PRP. It is simply observing all patients undergoing either procedure for any improvement. It is a relatively new method for the treatment of facial acne scars and there is very limited data assessing its efficacy on Indian skin types.
