Abstract (original English)

Background Facial acne scars are a prevalent concern, leading to the development of various treatment modalities. Objectives This review aims to explore the latest advancements in the treatment of facial acne scars, focusing on both surgical and non-surgical methods. Methods The non-surgical treatments reviewed include topical medications (such as retinoids and alpha hydroxy acids) and non-invasive procedures (like microdermabrasion and chemical peels).
