Abstract:
Acne scarring is a frequent complication of acne. Scars negatively impact on psychosocial & physical well???being. Optimal treatments significantly improve appearance, QOL & self-esteem of affected people. A wide range of interventions have been proposed for acne scars. This presentation aimed to focus on facial atrophic scarring interventions. Early effective treatment of acne is the best strategy to prevent or limit post???acne scarring. Treating SAE is the gold-standard initial & dramatic step toward improving acne scarring. The management of acne scarring includes various types of resurfacing (chemical peels, lasers, dermabrasion); use of injectable fillers; and also, surgical methods, such as needling, punch excision, or punch elevation and subcision. There are limited RCTs to determine which should be the gold standard treatment against which other treatments. Future studies should include combined therapies versus placebo. Trials should include a power calculation and recruit sufficient participants. Participants, clinical investigators and outcome assessors should be blinded to the treatment allocated. Trials should collect baseline variables (participant demographics, acne lesions and extent, skin phototype, scar duration, and depth of scars) to ensure that they are balanced.
