TLDR PRGF can improve acne and scars.
This study explores the use of autologous plasma-rich growth factors (PRGF) as a treatment for moderate papulopustular acne. A patient received three PRGF applications at one-month intervals, resulting in improved appearance of scars and active acne lesions. The proteins released from platelets in PRGF help regulate inflammation, inhibit the growth of Cutibacterium acnes, and restore collagen, making PRGF a promising therapeutic alternative in dermatology and aesthetic medicine.
