The treatment of acne scars is an important part of a laser
specialist’s practice. For the last 20 years, the technology
available for this application has progressed from nonablative

laser candidates, we are beginning to understand the use
of lasers for severe traumatic scars which can be disfiguring
and functionally limiting in nature.
