Full concentration TCACROSS method has also been reported as an effective procedure fortreating atrophic acne scarring. Objective: To compare the efficacy of non-ablative 1064 nm Nd:YAG and full concentration TCA CROSS method as differenttherapeutic modalities in treatment of atrophic acne scarring. Results: Both non-ablative 1064 nm Nd-YAG and full concentrationTCA CROSS method are effective modalities in treating atrophic acnescars, both have comparably close results. However, non-ablativerejuvenation has much less side effects and minimal downtime.
