Rapid Wound Healing and Acne Scar Improvement After Ablative Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser Treatment Combined with the Application of Platelet-Lyophilized Treatment (PLT).

ABSTRACT:

Objective

There are several clinical cases on the application of PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapies. To improve disadvantages such as the inability to be standardized and stored long term, we proposed a novel platelet-lyophilized treatment (PLT) to enhance the wound healing rate and improve acne scarring.

Study design

A single-blinded study at a single health care center was performed. All subjects were treated with a fractional carbon dioxide laser. On the right side of the face, 2 mL PLT solution (dissolved in normal saline) was applied, while on the left side of the face (control group), 2 mL normal saline was applied. The treatment described above was repeated every 3 to 4 weeks, and 4 treatments were performed in total. Assessments were performed prior to each treatme
