Abstract

Revisão sistemática da literatura médica sobre os tratamentos  da cicatriz atrófica de acne. A cicatrizes de acne podem ser classificadas de acordo com a profundidade e a forma da perda de colágeno em três tipos principais: Icepick, boxcar e rolling scar. Cicatrizes severas tem sido reportado em 30% dos pacientes, embora cicatriz leve e moderada tem sido reportada em até 95% desses pacientes e são prejudiciais ao bem-estar físico e psicológico onde vários tratamentos têm sido aplicados para cicatriz de acne e há relatos de eficácia utilizando esse tratamentos isoladamente ou associados. Fornecemos revisão abrangente do tratamento de cicatrizes atróficas de acne, incluindo terapias comumente utilizadas, bem como opções de tratamento mais inovadoras.
