Brief Summary: Both male and female patients with atrophic acne scars

All patients underwent one session of subcision before receiving

A cog PDO threads on one side of the face one session B plasma gel on the other side one session Primary outcomes clinical improvements reported by physicians Secondary out come satisfaction levels of patients
Detailed Description: The treatment area was prepared by anesthetizing the acne-scarred region with a 2 lidocaine injection mixed with 11000 adrenaline administered at each entry point after sterilizing the area with povidone-iodine solution Subcision was performed using an 18-G cannula needle inserted parallel to the skin surface The skin was stretched while the needle was maneuvered along the scar margins on both sides of the face creating a tunnel and releasing the scars from their bases The procedures endpoint was marked by a partial to complete loss of resistance in the treated area

After subcision patients underwent the following treatments

Plasma Gel Therapy One half of the face was assigned to the plasma gel therapy group Plasma gel was prepared in two steps

Platelet Poor Plasma PPP Preparation Ten milliliters of venous blood were drawn from each patient and collected in sterile anticoagulant-equipped vacuum tubes The blood was centrifuged at 72 g for 15 minutes at room temperature then the plasma layer was centrifuged again for 5 minutes at 1006 g to yield 65 ml of PPP and 05 ml of platelet-rich plasma PRP

Gel Formation The PPP syringes were placed in a hot water bath 60-100C for 1 minute then in a cold bath 8-0C for 1 minute to turn the plasma into a viscous gel The gel was injected into the scarred areas immediately after subcision

Thread Treatment The other side of the face received PDO thread treatment Cog PDO threads were inserted using a blunt-tipped cannula in a Z pattern within the scarred areas filling the pockets created by subcision

Randomization Subcision was performed on both sides of the face followed by either plasma gel injection or thread insertion Patients were randomly assigned to either modality based on their patient number

Assessment and Follow-up

Assessments included standardized clinical photography objective scar severity scoring and patient-reported outcomes

Clinical examination assessed the types and severity of acne scars using validated scales such as the Acne Scar Assessment Scale ASAS Goodman and Baron scale ECCA grading scale and Investigator Global Assessment IGA using a 5-point scale for improvement

Patient satisfaction was measured using a 5-point scale from not satisfied to very satisfied The Facial Acne Scar Quality of Life FASQol tool was used to assess the impact on patients quality of life

Photos were taken using a Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus smartphone with a 12 MP telephoto lens

Participants were followed up at 4 8 and 12 weeks post-treatment

Outcome Measures

The primary outcome measure was the change in scar severity scores from baseline to follow-up visits

Secondary outcome measures included participant satisfaction scores improvement in scar texture and adverse events Comparisons between treatment modalities were also made
