At 3\u00a0months after the treatment, good (in 12 patients) and near total (in four patients) clinical improvement was noted in most of the patients compared to baseline. Overall treatment results were 76% (both near total and good) in 16 patients. By ultrasonographic evaluation, the average density of dermal collagen (total density\/number of patients) of 21 patients was 32.714 (right cheek) and 32.142 (left cheek) before laser facial resurfacing. At the third month after treatment, the average density of dermal collagen of 21 patients was 36.380 (right cheek) and 38.809 (left cheek). In conclusion, <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">E<\/jats:styled-content>r:<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">YAG<\/jats:styled-content> laser skin resurfacing was found to be a safe and effective treatment modality for treatment of atrophic facial acne scars.
