Abstract

Atrophic acne scars are common sequelae of acne, which can be disfiguring and cause emotional distress in many people because they mainly affect the face and are constantly present in their everyday lives. There are various procedural and surgical treatments available, each with its own limitations. It can be very difficult to perform subcision or punch excision in cases with multiple deep atrophic scars, and lasers may not be very effective in uplifting the rolling scars. Hence, we performed intradermal radiofrequency (RF) in our patients with stubborn scars. The RF energy was delivered while performing subcision in all the scars, which helped in collagen remodeling and improving the scars.
