Acne vulgaris Scars Treatment Options: An updated and Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Acne is a complex condition affecting the pilosebaceous unit. It is one of the most often treated
dermatological conditions. It affects 85 percent of people aged 12 to 24. It typically begins
throughout puberty and is more prevalent in males than females. Even in their fourth decade of life,
many adults are troubled by acne, but it affects more women than males. Although numerous
therapeutic techniques for acne have been documented, it is difficult to treat acne with minimum side
effects. We treated a patient with acne vulgaris in this report utilizing long-pulsed neodymium:
yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) lasers at a wavelength of 1,064 nm. After two sessions of longpulsed 1,064-nm Nd:YAG laser treatment, the patient achieved virtually complete remission with no
significant side effects or recurrence during a six-month period. We propose that a long-pulsed 1,064-
nm Nd:YAG laser can be utilized efficiently and safely in Asian patients to treat inflammatory
lesions of the skin, notably acne vulgaris.
