Brief Summary  

Aim: To clinically evaluate and grade acne scars, and to compare efficacy and safety of fractional co2 laser versus fractional co2 laser with platelet rich plasma therapy in the treatment of atrophic acne scars.

Primary objective: To determine the frequency of various types and grading of acne scars.

Secondary objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of fractional co2 laser versus       fractional co2 laser with platelet rich plasma therapy in the treatment of atrophic acne scars.

Rationale for the study: Grading and classifying acne scars will assess the severity and prioritizes the choice of treatment. Many treatment options are available for atrophic acne scars, but still, it is challenging to manage as the condition can be refractive. Gold standard treatment modality for atrophic acne scars are ablative lasers. Platelet rich plasma therapy is a newer treatment modality used for atrophic acne scars, which may have additional benefits compared to laser therapy alone. This study intends to compare the efficacy and safety of fractional co2 laser and platelet rich plasma therapy, for the treatment of atrophic acne scars.
