Acne scars can be quite embarrassing for people suffering from acne problems, and it is just like wearing a badge on your skin proclaiming to the world that you battle acne night and day. The downside is that no makeup can completely conceal deep, pitted acne scars. Until now, the only option was to undergo laser treatment, but a new form of treatment has changed all of that.

PRP Treatment
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) treatment is a new form of skin rejuvenation that helps to improv ethe acne scars effectively. The procedure is done by injecting a special gel-like substance into the acne scar regions which contains elements rich in growth factor which is prepared from your own blood.

A blood sample is taken from the patient and is spun in a centrifugation system to identify PRFM (Platelet-rich Fibrin Matrix). After this, red and white blood cells are removed from the sample so that the Platelet-rich Fibrin Matrix can be extracted. The PRFM is rich in growth factors that have regenerative properties and facilitate wound healing, reproduction of collagen and elastin at the area in which it is injected.

What should you expect during PRP treatment?
When you fix an appointment with your dermatologist, he/she will take your blood sample, and a licensed professional shall do it on his behalf and process it to inject on the acne scar. The whole procedure shall be completed within 30 minutes. Since there is no downtime associated with PRP treatment, the patient can resume work or get social immediately.

PRP treatment and associated risks

PRP treatment- When do results show?
Platelet-rich Plasma treatment has proven to be quite effective in matters of acne scar treatment. Initially, some plumping will occur, but it will subside before final results show up. Results will be apperant after 2 to 3 sessions of treatment.

The number of sessions depends majorly on the severity of acne scarring. Typically, it would be anywhere between one and three. Each session should be done after an interval of 4 weeks, and details of treatment shall be discussed by your dermatologist upon visit.

So, yes, PRP has a huge success rate in treating acne scars. You may long be frustrated with the acne scar; with PRP your worries will no longer tag you around.

In case you have a concern or query you can always consult an expert & get answers to your questions!

Lybrate | Dr. Naresh Marepally speaks on IMPORTANCE OF TREATING ACNE EARLY

Namaskar!

Mai hun Dr, Shaurya Rohatgi. Mai Mumbai mein practice karta hun aur main ek skin specialist hun. Mai baat karunga hairfall yani ki balon ke jhadne ki takleef ke baare mein. Balon ke jhadne ke bahut saare kaaran hote hain. Iska kaaran dhundna bahut zaroori hai kyunki bahut sare misconceptions aur andhvishwas hai hairfall se related jiske kaaran log iss vicious cycle mein pade rehte hain or internet pe ya phir newspaper se ya phir dosto se puch ke alag alag tarah ke treatment karte hain jinka koi upyog nahi hota hai. Sabse pehle pani mein badlav ya phir shehar mein badlav ka hairfall se koi lena dena nahi hota hai. Doosra sabse common misconception hai ki masturbation karne ki wajah se hairfall hota hai. Masturbation ka hairfall se koi bhi lena dena nahi hai. Teesra, shampoo aur hair oil ka hairfall se koi lena dena nahi hai. Shampoo ka kaam sirf scalp ko saaf karna ya clean karna aur usme se oil nikalna hai.

Oiling karna completely useless hai. Oiling ka koi bhi upyog nahi hota hai. Aam tor par purushon mein hairfall ka sabse common kaaran male pattern baldness yani ki Androgenic alopecia hota hai jise hum samanya rup mein taklapan kehte hain. Iska proper treatment kiya ja sakta hai aur baal wapas lae ja sakte hain. Mahilaon mein hair loss pattern baldness ke kaaran bhi ho sakta hai aur dusre kaaran bhi ho sakte hain. Hair loss ka treatment karne se pehle uska kaaran dhundna bahut zaroori hai. Kaaran yani ki diagnosis karne ke baad hi hum hairfall ka sahi treatment kar sakte hain. Internet pe padh ke ya phir dosto se pooch ke treatment na karein. Sahi treatment karna hi samajhdari hai.

Purushon or mahilaon mein pattern baldness ka naya treatment hai PRP jise hum platelet rich plasma therapy kehte hain. Is treatment mein hum patients se 10-15 ml blood nikalte hain. Usko centrifuge karte hain. Platelets concentrate karte hain jisko hum platelet rich plasma kehte hain. Isme koi foreign substance nahi milaya jata hai. Ye patient ka apna plasma hota hai jisko hum scalp mein inject karte hain. Isse density Kafi acchi increase hoti hai aur uske sath sath pattern baldness ka medical treatment bhi kiya jata hai jo ki bahut zaroori hai, Iske baare mein aur jankari ke liye aur hairfall ke treatment ke liye mujhe Lybrate par sampark karein.
