Resumen

Objectives: This presentation discussed and analyzed the various minimally invasive approaches to the treatment of acne scarring, innovative modalities, and different protocols for early intervention to minimize scarring formation. Introduction: Acne is a common disease affecting a high percentage of the younger population. Without appropriate and effective primary prevention of scarring, post-acne scars occur in about 80-95% of all patients. Acne scarring is the result of an alteration of the healing process, and it can have deep psychosocial implications for patients. Scars can involve textural change in the superficial and deep dermis, and it can also be associated with erythema or pigmentation. Materials / method: The presentation explored and analyzed different recent studies regarding new treatment, combination, and early intervention to minimize scarring based on many publications and consensus Results: The efficacy of various treatment modalities were highlighted with a focus on choosing the correct modalities for specific scar types. Conclusion: Good assessment is very important to select the proper and specific treatment for each type of post acne scar. Combination treatment has shown better efficacy compared to single modalities.
