Several etiologies, including inflammatory acne, trauma, previous surgical procedures, and viral infections such as varicella or herpes simplex, can lead to permanent scarring. Treatment of scarring remains an evolving subject among dermatologic surgeons. In order to better understand the optimal treatments for facial scarring, we first explore the different morphologies of facial scars. This is followed by a review of treatments grouped according to each distinct type of scar. We conclude with a discussion of combination treatments and how to apply these modalities to the patient with acne scarring to achieve the maximum results. SN - PB - The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
