While treatment of active acne with lasers has been successful, many studies are limited by the lack of control populations and comparison to standard therapies for active acne. Laser thera- pies are increasingly becoming part of or an adjunct to the medical treatment of active acne and are a useful treatment modality.
For Fixed Acne Scars
Changes in the skin’s micro-relief for acne scars.
These are the most frequent scarring manifes­tation: the skin grain becomes coarser, irregular, and takes on a dull appearance. These irregulari­ties are made up of dilated pores induced by the progressive dilation of the sebaceous ostia by hyper-seborrhea.
Alterations totheSkin’s Micro-Relief
Fractional lasers are of great interest here. Their use in ablative, non-ablative, or mixed mode makes it possible to obtain in three to four ses­sions spaced at least 2 months apart (to benet from the early remodeling phase of the previous session) a regularization of the skin surface allowing a visible softening of the skin texture (Fig. 38a–d).
– Fractional lasers remain the rst-line treat-
ment for ostial dilatation. They reduce the diameter of the pores by contraction and der­mal densication and regularize surface irreg­ularities by their tensor effect.

Comments
The use of non-ablative fractional lasers includ- ing phototypes IV, V, and VI is possible with a much lower risk of triggering post-inammatory pigmentation than with fractional ablative lasers. Wherever possible, they should be recommended as a rst option.
– Depressed scars require a more complex two-
stage sequence. Scar raising is the rst essen­tial step prior to laser abrasion when the depressions are deep; it is performed under local anesthesia. The isolated fragment is placed slightly above the surface of the adja­cent skin using a punch with a diameter greater than the scar to be raised. Subcision and dermal graft can be combined. Coagulation will maintain the lift in its new position. Fatty plasters are changed daily for
the rst 4 days following the operation, after which the lifts are left in the open air. In the time interval between this procedure and the laser abrasion, the appearance is reminiscent of a papular acne are-up. Laser abrasion is performed at least 1 month after the rst pro­cedure (Fig. 39a–d).
Anatomical unit performs laser dermabra­sion, depending on the skin’s laxity and therefore often depending on the age of the patients con­cerned. In young patients, abrasion with a low thermal effect is done with the Erbium: YAG laser. The demand for scar correction in older people requires the use of the CO2 laser which leads to a real re-draping by dermal contraction in addition to leveling. Postoperative erythema is prolonged (2–3months versus 4–6months) [34,
35].

Comments
– Ice pick scars will benet rstly from surgical
removal with punch and secondary suture when possible. The chemical technique TCA or Phenol Cross is an alternative but sometimes it can open up ice pick scars even more (Fig.
40a–d). In some cases, the use of the TCA/
Phenol cross may open up the enlarged pores further. It is preferable to remove surgically and then smooth the scar surface with a CO2 or Erbium: YAG ablative laser.
– In the situation where depressed scars are pre-
dominant and the after effects appear too bur­densome for patients to manage, ablative fractional lasers can also be used.
– With AFL, the depth of treatment must be
favored over density and thermal diffusion appears to be a determining factor. Thus, whatever the type of fractional laser used, the power, energy, and/or time of the unit pulses (dwelling) will be chosen to be high, while the density of the thermal cones (MTZ) or abla­tion will be medium or low. The session can be repeated.
– With the same parameters, the greatest
improvements are obtained during the rst
sessions.
– Dermal grafting, injection of polylactic acid,
calcium hydroxyapatite, and hyaluronic acid
are now very common for scar lifting, reduc-
tion of pox scar, depression, or rolling scars,
alone and especially in combination with
laser remodeling, especially AFL and NAFL
or MRF.
– To trim the shoulders of depressed, chicken-
pox scar, pox scar, or rolling scars and to
reduce the difference in height at the surface
of the skin, you can use a drilling method with
a donut-shaped design of the laser scanner or
use a handpiece with a spot size of less than
1mm in pulse or continuous mode to reduce
the border edge (Fig. 41a–j, 42a–e, and 43a,b).

Comments
– Rolling scars caused by underlying fat melting
are too deep to be improved by laser. It is illu­sory to expect treatments with fractional pulsed lasers or laser resurfacing on this type of lesion to have a tensor effect that lasts more than a few months. Their correction is obtained by ll­ing with an injection of hyaluronic acid. The choice of cross-linking depends on the depth of the lesions to be treated. Lipo-structure is only
exceptionally proposed for the most severe
lesions. Slow resorption occurs in sites that are
not much mobilized by facial expressions, and
the results often persist for 18–24months (Fig.
43a, b).

Comments
Ice pick scars need to be raised at rst.Rolling scar can be reduced by injecting llers
alone. Hyaluronic acid raises scar tissue and stimulates neocollagenesis.
– The durability of HA is variable but in brous
tissue, it can be stable for years. Other inject­ables as inductors can be used as PLLA (poly­lactic acid) or CaHA (hydroxyapatite of calcium) (Figs. 44a–h).
– Complex bridge scars and xed retractile
depressions benet from surgical removal. The subcision is proposed for a long time to break the brous bridges, but it can some­times be disappointing because the scar may reform a brous ange after a few weeks unless a resorbable material (Hyaluronic
a
Acid) is used. At the time of surgical revision,
to avoid secondary scar enlargement, par-
ticular attention must be paid to the suture in
2 or 3 planes with perfect confrontation of
the deep plane.
– For residual erythema and post-inammatory
hyperpigmentation on dark skins, we are usu-
ally content to wait for regression, as these
marks are always involutivity within few
months. However, we can also suggest laser
treatment as Nd:YAG long pulse in fast motion
mode, non-ablative fractional and vascular
laser as pulsed dye laser.
