Background: Acne is a common chronic skin illness that occurs when the pilosebaceous unit (hair follicles and their accompanying sebaceous gland) become inflamed or blocked. Both atrophic (lower) and hypertrophic (higher) scarring from acne can occur. In order to get desirable results, a multimodal approach is often required, depending on the kind and severity of the scarring. As a result, there is a wide variety of approaches to treating acne scars.
Objective: Review of the literature on future management lines of atrophic acne scars.
Methods: We looked for data on Acne atrophic scars, and future management, in medical journals and databases like PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. However, only the most recent or extensive study was taken into account between July 2001 and September 2022. References from related works were also evaluated by the writers. There are not enough resources to translate documents into languages other than English, hence those documents have been ignored. It was generally agreed that documents such as unpublished manuscripts, oral presentations, conference abstracts, and dissertations did not qualify as legitimate scientific study.
Conclusion: An effective treatment plan will incorporate multiple approaches, such as medicinal, surgical, and laser tools. Quantifying the advantages and determining the longevity of the impacts requires more primary research, such as randomised controlled trials.
