Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Test which combination is more effective, fractional laser with PRP fluid or fractional laser with PRP gel [one year]
Effectiveness of each combination will be measured with OCT, depth of a fixed scar on each side of the face will be measured at baseline and then compared with 1 month after the last session and 3 months after the last session
