Response - NO
Brief Summary   Majority of the acne scars occur on the face, thus impacting the quality of life. One novel modality of treatment is microneedling radiofrequency therapy also known or collagen induction therapy, has become an important treatment modality for acne scars. Initiation of  collagen synthesis is achieved by causing minute injury to the dermis with the use of microneedles. The needles are so fine and thin that tissue damage is almost negligible. Electrical signals, triggers the cascade of the healing process, releasing growth signals to undifferentiated cells and  resulting in new blood vessels formation and natural tissue remodeling which continues for 8 weeks to 1 year.
              This process is combined with platelet rich plasma and injectable platelet rich fibrin. They contain autologous growth factors, which  act synergistically with growth factors induced by skin needling in order to enhance the wound-healing response.
                 Additionally Injectable platelet rich fibrin has  demonstrated the ability to release higher concentrations of various growth factors and induced higher fibroblast migration.
Hence, this study is being performed to compare the effectiveness between platelet rich plasma and autologous injectable platelet rich fibrin
