If you have acne scars that don’t respond to over-the-counter treatments, check out Derm.ca’s (403-457-1900) platelet-rich plasma therapy.
If you feel like you’ve tried everything but can’t get rid of your acne scars, Derm.ca can help. Their platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy targets treatment-resistant acne scars by stimulating collagen production, resulting in a significant reduction in the appearance of scars and smoother skin.

Platelets are a rich source of growth factors and signaling proteins that stimulate collagen production, helping to repair and regenerate skin tissue. During a PRP procedure, a small vial of blood is drawn and centrifuged to separate the platelets, from which your collagen-promoting growth factors are extracted. These are then delicately placed into your acne scars to elevate the scar tissue, helping to smooth your skin’s surface.
A study published by the Clinical Dermatology Review journal supports the efficacy of PRP therapy in treating acne scars, noting that the majority of patients recorded reductions in the severity of acne scars. Moreover, the study highlights the safety of the treatment, with patients reporting minimal side effects.
Derm.ca explains that the best results from PRP therapy are achieved when you combine it with other treatments such as fractional laser and subcision. Additionally, you are advised to be patient as collagen growth from PRP is not typically detectable for about six weeks. After this period, the Derm.ca team will assess the results and determine whether further PRP therapy is necessary.
If you have soft, indented, and atrophic acne scars, you may be a good candidate for PRP acne scar therapy. However, to determine if you're an appropriate candidate for the procedure, Derm.ca recommends scheduling a complimentary consultation for PRP treatment in Calgary. During this consultation, their team of experts can assess your specific case and recommend the most suitable treatment options for your acne scars.
