Background: Acne scars are a cause of major psychological morbidity in the young population. Microneedling using dermarollers which uses the principle of percutaneous collagen induction and Chemical reconstruction of skin scars (CROSS) using Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) are both widely used methods for the treatment of acne scars and are cheaper alternatives to LASER resurfacing. The aim of our study is to objectively compare the efficacy of microneedling using dermaroller with CROSS using 100% TCA in the management of acne scars.Methods: 30 patients with acne scars were divided into 2 groups A and B with 15 patients each. Group ‘A’ underwent microneedling using 1.5 mm dermaroller and Group ‘B’ underwent CROSS technique with 100% TCA. A total of 4 sessions at monthly intervals were performed on both groups. The percentage improvement in the acne scar grade between the two groups was compared using the student ‘t’ test.Results: Among the 30 patients, 13 (86%) patients in Group A (Microneedling) and 11 (78%) patients in group B (CROSS) noted significant reduction in their acne scar grade. The difference between the 2 groups was statistically insignificant. 3 patients had significant post inflammatory hyperpigmentation in group ‘B’.Conclusions: The techniques of microneedling and CROSS are both effective in acne scars But microneedling scores in other aspects such as faster wound healing, better skin rejuvenation and safety in dark skinned individuals.

“…After obtaining informed consent, the patients studied were subjected to detailed history taking, thorough general and dermatological examination, and assessment of acne scar severity before and after treatment through the application of Goodman and Baron quantitative and qualitative grading systems [17,18] in addition to assessment by three physicians committees and reports of patients' satisfaction. The improvement was graded as 0% to 25% (mild), 25% to 50% (moderate), 50% to 75% (marked) and 75% to 100% (excellent).…”

There are different modalities for management of atrophic acne scars which include lasers. Ablative fractional CO 2 laser was developed to address the shortcomings of traditional ablative lasers, with superior results to non-ablative fractional lasers. Autologous fat transfer has been utilized for nearly a decade in tissue augmentation and reconstruction. Present studies were designed to compare ablative fractional CO 2 laser treatment with scar subcision and autologous fat transfer in the treatment of atrophic acne scars. 20 patients with atrophic acne scars were recruited: 10 patients were treated by three sessions of ablative fractional CO 2 laser therapy, and 10 patients treated by subcision and autologous fat transfer. All patients were followed up for three months, and were assessed by digital photograph before and after treatment through the application of Goodman and Baron quantitative and qualitative grading systems, in addition to reports by three physicians committees and reports of patients' satisfaction. Analysis of both groups showed significant improvements in all types of atrophic acne scars. The mean percentage of total quantitative improvement was more significant in the case of autologous fat transfer with regard to ice-pick and total number of scars. Therefore, scar subcision with autologous fat transfer proved to be as effective as, or even more effective than, ablative fractional CO 2 laser in the treatment of atrophic acne scars with regard to the total number of scars as well as ice-pick type.Keywords: Acne scars; laser; fat transfer Citation: Mohammad LM, Elgarhy LH, Saad DG, Mostafa WA.

Background: Acne is a common disorder with a more prevalence among adolescents and seldom has it caused atrophic scars. Several treatment options are available for atrophic acne scars treatment. The objective of the study was to assess the efficiency and safety of microdermabrasion for acne scars in South Indian patients.Methods: Forty patients (24 males and 16 females) with acne scars were enrolled in the study. Microdermabrasion was done to all patients and repeated at every two weeks intervals for a total of four sittings. Patients were followed up on tenth week. The response to the treatment was assessed by objective and subjective methods.Results: All patients completed the study and follow up period. There were 8 patients with mild, 28 patients with moderate and 4 patients with severe grade of acne scars. At the end of the study, 9 patients (22%) with mild to moderate acne scars showed good response. 30% of patients were satisfied with the treatment with varying degrees. Side effects were transient and mild. Conclusions: Microdermabrasion is a safe, easy to perform, well tolerated procedure for treatment of mild to moderate acne scars.
