Popis: | BACKGROUND Postacne scars are still a challenge in its management. Microneedling is a popular minimally invasive technique in treatment of such scars. However, the addition of topical stem cell products after microneedling is considered a new treatment regimen for these scars. OBJECTIVE To compare efficacy of amniotic fluid-derived mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned media (AF-MSC-CM) and microneedling vs microneedling alone in management of atrophic acne scars. METHODS Ten cases with atrophic postacne scars received five sessions of microneedling, with 2-week interval on both sides of the face. Then, AF-MSC-CM was topically applied to right side of the face after microneedling. Clinical examination with histopathological and computerized histometric analysis was done 1 month after the sessions. RESULTS There was significant increase in the improvement percentage of acne scars on right side (dermaroller and AF-MSC-CM) vs left side of face (dermaroller; P |
