Current treatments include topical agents and mesotherapy, but research remains limited.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title><jats:p>Due to the undesirable effect of the available treatments, the present study was designed to compare the effectiveness of platelet\u2010rich plasma (PRP) injection and intradermal injection of tranexamic acid plus vitamin C mesotherapy as a therapeutic method to treat POH.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients received an intradermal injection of PRP randomly on one side and an intradermal injection of tranexamic acid\u2009+\u2009vitamin C on the other side of their face, for three sessions with an interval of 3\u2009weeks. Digital photography was taken, and data were assessed based on physician global assessment (PGA) and patient satisfaction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Eighteen patients were studied. Among all, 12 patients had a positive family history, 2 had asthma, and 4 had a history of atopic dermatitis. Even though patient satisfaction was higher in the PRP group than in mesotherapy, it was not statistically significant. Both groups showed similar rates of improvement. However, improvement rates did not significantly differ based on various factors including gender, skin type, family history, or medical history. Age and the age of disease onset also did not significantly affect the improvement rates.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Both methods revealed successful results in the reduction of POH.
