Common oral or topical retinoids, antibiotics, or keratolytics are used but sometimes are inconvenient, and side effects caused by these conventional therapies prompted a search for effective and safe treatments. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of intralesional platelet-rich plasma injection versus 1064\u00a0nm long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser in the treatment of moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris in both adolescents and post-adolescent patients. This split-face comparative study was carried out on thirty patients who suffered from moderate inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne vulgaris. The patients were classified into two groups: group I: adolescent (\u2264\u200925\u00a0years) and group II: post-adolescent (&lt;\u200925\u00a0years). Each group received four sessions of intralesional PRP injection on one side of the face and a long-pulsed Nd:YAG (1064\u00a0nm) laser on the other side with 2\u00a0weeks interval. Evaluation was done by blinded dermatologists using photographs and lesions counting and by patient satisfaction. Side effects were also noted. Both groups (adolescents and post-adolescent) showed a high statistically significant improvement of inflammatory as well as non-inflammatory lesions either in PRP or Nd:YAG laser\u2013treated side with no significant difference between the two sides. The intralesional PRP injection and 1064\u00a0nm long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser are safe and effective methods for controlling inflammatory as well as non-inflammatory acne vulgaris in both adolescents and post-adolescent patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10103-022-03510-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,27]],"date-time":"2022-01-27T05:02:47Z","timestamp":1643259767000},"page":"2471-2478","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Clinical evaluation of efficacy of intralesional platelet-rich plasma injection versus 1064\u00a0nm long-pulsed Neodymium:YAG laser in the treatment of inflammatory acne vulgaris in adolescent and post-adolescent patients: a prospective randomized split-face comparative study"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Nayera Hassan","family":"Moftah","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aya Muhammad","family":"Mansour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7616-267X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shady Mahmoud Attia","family":"Ibrahim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"3510_CR1","first-page":"13","volume":"7","author":"DD Lynn","year":"2016","unstructured":"Lynn DD, Umari T, Dunnick CA, Dellavalle RP (2016) The epidemiology of acne vulgaris in late adolescence.
