Treatment of atrophic acne scars by subcision followed by diluted calcium hydroxylapatite injection versus subcision followed by painting cross TCA technique

Abstract

Acne scars are the most common sequelae of the severe inflammatory process of acne. Subcision is used for scars which are adherent and do not flatten on skin stretching. Calcium hydroxylapatite injections have proved to be safe and effective in improving the quality of the extracellular matrix and treatment Atrophic Acne Scars. Caustic peels like trichloroacetic acid peels are beneficial to most types of acne scars. While treating with a full-face peel for acne scars, it is important to achieve mid depth peeling.
