AB Facial  scarring  is  a  common  complaint  among  patients  seen  by  cosmetic  dermatologic  surgeons.  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.
