If you ask me whether blood contains growth factors and wound healing factors that may help to promote new, native collagen and elastic fiber production to improve scars, the answer would be yes. If you ask me whether one needs to spend $800-$1000/treatment (NYC prices) to have your blood taken out, spun down and then sprinkled back on or injected back into your scars, I would say not to waste your money. If you have depressed acne scars, a simple, inexpensive subcision treatment creates a little blood pocket under the skin (at no extra charge) that contains the growth factors and wound healing factors to improve the scar.
