Abstract Background: Scarring is an unfortunate result of acne, because it causes psychological and cosmetic problems to patients. Unluckily no single treatment is suitable; using multiple methods may have better result. autologous fat and stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells and their secretory factors can and enhance angiogenesis, collagen synthesis, and migration of fibroblasts therefore regenerate hurt tissues. Also, other treatments for acne scarring, like platelet rich plasma (PRP), induce the scare improvement. The aim of the study was to verify the effectiveness of transplantation of autologous fat, SVF cells and PRP as cell therapy technique on atrophic acne scars. Methods: This study included 9 adult patients with atrophic acne scars on the face. All patients received transplantation of autologous fat, stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells and PRP. The treatment outcome was measured by biometric assessment (Visioface 1000 D, Colorimeter, multi probe adapter Cutometer, Tewameter, Mexameter, and skin ultrasound imaging system), also patients’ satisfaction was evaluated. The patients were followed 6 months after treatment. Results: A significant improvement in the skin pores, spots, skin lightness and melanin content of the skin, skin elasticity and TEWL after 6 months of treatment. Also denser skin layers were observed both in the epidermis and dermis. Furthermore, 66.6 % of the patients showed well satisfied after treatment. Conclusion: Briefly, transplantation of autologous fat, SVF cells and PRP is an effective cell therapy for atrophic acne scars.

Abstract Background Acne scars, is a challenge for dermatologists, despite having multiple treatment modalities like microneedling, dermabrasion, Fractional CO2 Laser, dermal fillers, etc. However, monotherapy has been hardly satisfactory because of the polymorphism seen with the scars. Objective Comparison between microneedling with platelet rich plasma versus Fractional carbon dioxide laser with platelet rich plasma in treatment of atrophic post acne scars. Patients and methods This study was carried out in department of dermatology, venereology and andrology, in Kobry El-Kobba Military complex during the period (from September 2018 to July 2020 ) on 20 patients of both sexes aged from 20 to 60 years old presenting with Goodman and Baron Grade II, III, IV acne scars . Results The study revealed a statistically significant difference (p = 0.017) between Goodman and Baron scar grades on the right side of the face before and after treatment indicating that microneedling with platelet rich plasma was effective in improving acne scars. Also, there is a statistically significant difference (p = 0.010) between Goodman and Baron scar grades on the left side of the face before and after treatment, indicating that fractional CO2 laser with platelet rich plasma was effective in improving acne scars. Conclusion and recommendation Further controlled and randomized studies are needed to validate our findings in a larger cohort of patients and longer follow up. Also, number of sessions might be more than 3 sessions.

Acne Scarring

Background: There are various therapeutic modalities for acne and post acne scarring, but the best option is to have a safe, effective with affordable cost such as monotherapy or combination therapy. One of the recommended combination therapy for acne vulgaris with atrophic acne scars is microneedling radiofrequency which can improve skin structure. Case report: A 25 year old male with moderate comedonal acne vulgaris and severe scarring. The patient came with complaints of uneven skin surface on both cheeks, forehead and chin which had been felt to increase since 3 years ago. The appearance of acne on the face has been felt since 12 years ago. The patient's parents and sister also had acne complaints. On dermatological examination, on the forehead, temples, cheeks, nose and chin found blackheads, whiteheads, papules, hyperpigmented macules, multiple atrophic acne scars. The treatment choice for this patient is microneedling radiofrequency in combination with topical therapy. Discussion: The combination of microneedling with radiofrequency is one of the therapeutic modalities for acne vulgaris and also post-acne scarring with minimal side effects. In the evaluation for 2 weeks after the procedure, this patient did not complaint of any adverse events.
