The approach to managing acne scars is unique to every dermatologist. This depends on the skin type of his/her clientele, the tools, techniques and devices available and/or used, and the protocols developed based on his/her experience with treating acne scars, developed over a period of time. Herein, we share our algorithmic treatment approach to acne scars, which allows for a consultative decision-making together with the patient, while offering adequate flexibility to modify the plan based on treatment response. Eventually, a customized and comprehensive system works best, and a partnership approach signified by a robust self-care home plan, helps accelerate the scar revision process.
