This represents limitations in our quality of therapy and a failure of public education. The level of severe scarring remains as much an ongoing challenge to prevent as well as manage.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods\u2002<\/jats:bold>This review will concentrate on the methods by which acne scarring may be improved and the available evidence for their utility. It will also rely on a grading scale of disease burden to classify patients and their ideal therapy. New therapies allowing treatment of scarring in areas other than the face will also be highlighted.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold>Tabulated treatment planning will present algorithms summarizing best practice in the treatment of post\u2010acne scarring.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion\u2002<\/jats:bold>Post\u2010acne scarring is being better managed. Grade 1 scars with flat red, white, or brown marks are best treated with topical therapies, fractionated and pigment or vascular\u2010specific lasers and, occasionally, pigment transfer techniques. Grade 2 mild scarring as seen primarily in the mirror is now the territory of non\u2010ablative fractionated and non\u2010fractionated lasers as well as skin rolling techniques. Grade 3 scarring, visible at conversational distance but distensible, is best managed by traditional resurfacing techniques or with fractional non\u2010ablative or ablative devices, sometimes including preparatory surgical procedures. Grade 4 scarring, where the scarring is at its most severe and non\u2010distensible, is most in need of a combined approach.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2011.05029.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,9,27]],"date-time":"2011-09-27T20:12:33Z","timestamp":1317154353000},"page":"1179-1194","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":51,"title":["Treatment
