AB Acne  vulgaris  affects  almost  80%  of  the  population  at  some  point  in  life  and  leads  to  scarring  in  up  to  95%  of  patients  with  acne.1,2  Many  patients  suffer  long-term  psychological  and  social  effects  from  the  complications  of  acne.3  The  prevalence  of  acne  scarring  in  the  general  population  has  been  estimated  to  be  1%  but  is  much  higher  in  the  dermatology  clinic  population.4  Even  though  the  treatment  of  acne  scarring  has  greatly  improved  in  the  last  decade  with  respect  to  safety  and  efficacy,  many  patients  are  unaware  of  their  options  regarding  potential  therapies.  The  proliferation  of  devices  and  techniques  for  improving  acne  scarring  present  a  challenge  for  the  clinician  who  must  often  apply  several  treatments  for  an  individual  patient  with  multiple  types  of  acne  scars.
