topical local anesthetic (5% EMLA cream) is applied over scars 45 mins before procedure. Autologous PRP is prepared during this time interval ( of EMLA application) before starting microneedling, All the procedures will performed by primary researcher. Micro needling is done on each scarred skin in vertical, horizontal and both diagonal directions for 4 times (standard application) at a depth of 1.5mm, then PRP is injected at 0.1 ml/cm2 (approximate dose) in group A patients while vitamin C(500mg) 0.1 ml/cm2 is injected over the scarred areas in group B patients and micro needling is repeated again as above. PRP is made by taking 20ml of blood through venous puncture, first soft spin is at 1500 resolutions/min(RPM) for 10 minutes and then second hard spin is at 2500RPM for 10 minutes. from this 20ml we get 4.5ml of PRP Ice packs will be applied over treated areas in both groups and strict photo protective measures are advised during course of treatment for all the patients. Total of 3 sessions 4 weeks apart are done in all the cases.
time duration of each session is one hour and thirty minutes
primary researcher is post graduate resident in plastic surgery department of Jinnah burn and reconstructive surgery center.
PRP is injected at 0.1 ml/cm2 in group A patients while vitamin C 0.1 ml/cm2 is injected over the scarred areas in group B patients both before and after microneedling..
strength of vitamin C injection used is 500mg
a total of 4.5ml of prp is obtained from 20ml of blood.
