Response - NO
Brief Summary    Aims & objectives (hypotheses if applicable): Our aim in this study is to evaluate outcomes of scars in patients undergoing microneedling and/or Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). 
Justification for study (whether of national significance with rationale): Scars are the most common problems associated with burns, trauma or surgery. There are various modalities available to manage and improve scar outcomes which are used regularly as standard of care practices in our department. Of these, Microneedling (dermarolling) and platelet rich plasma (PRP) are cost-effective outpatient procedures that can help improve scar quality and patient satisfaction. It can thus be a very useful modality in the management of scars.
