Acne Vulgaris is a chronic disease characterized by long duration, exacerbations and remissions, and with substantial physiological and social effects that negatively influence patient’s life. For the treatment of Acne Vulgaris one of the most important point is compliance and good cooperation between doctor and patient. The acne treatment armamentarium, includes topical medications (Retinoids, Topical Antibiotics, Benzoyl peroxide, topical combinations etc.), systemic medications (Antibiotics, Hormones, Isotretinoin) and finally light and LASER sources. However, despite the current treatment there are cases with poor treatment response. The various reasons for treatment failure will be analyzed and the management of each category will be discussed. One of the most problematic to treat acne consequence is acne scarring. The management of the different types of scars will be presented. Recent Publications 1. Dessinioti, Clio & Katsambas, Andreas.
