To the Editor: Postacne atrophic scars (PAS) are common sequelae of acne.1 Peels, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), subcision, dermabrasion, lasers, punch techniques, and fillers are useful in PAS; however, many of them are associated with dyspigmentation and scarring, limiting their widespread use, especially in skin-of-color populations.1 Microneedling is safer in skin-of-color populations and is often combined with PRP for enhanced efficacy.2,3 However, PRP therapy is costly and not readily available.
