ABSTRACT

Background:

Acne scarring not only affects the aesthetic appearance of an individual but also has a detrimental effect on mental health and social life. Various treatment modalities are available for acne scars.

Aim:

In this study, fractional erbium-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet (ErYAG) laser resurfacing was compared with 20% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peeling in terms of efficacy and safety. Materials and

Methods:

This prospective comparative study included 50 subjects of acne scar who were randomly divided into Groups A and B, 25 patients in each group. Group A was treated with 4 sessions of fractional ErYAG laser and Group B with 4 session of 20% TCA application as chemical peeling, repeated every 21 days over a period of 3 months. The patients were evaluated for improvement at each visit using Goodman and Baron's qualitative and quantitative acne scar grading.

Results:

Statistically significant improvement in Goodman and Barron's qualitative acne scar grades was observed in both groups. At the end of therapy, that is, after 12 weeks of therapy, the mean percentage reduction in Goodman and Baron's quantitative acne scar scores was 21.69% ± 16% in Group A and 20.97% ± 8.70% in Group B. In regards of complications, both procedures were well tolerated.

Conclusion:

We concluded that fractional ErYAG laser resurfacing and 20% TCA peel application in the treatment of atrophic acne scar are equally efficacious. Both procedures are safe and well tolerated by the patients.
