Abstract

One of the most prominent side effects of acne is the formation of scars. It can have a detrimental effect on someone's psychological and physiological wellness as well as overall experience of living. Since acne is a complex condition, it can be managed in a variety of ways to reduce the production of scars, yet scarring can still occur occasionally for a variety of reasons. With advances in medical science, a variety of therapy techniques, including derma-peeling treatments, injectable implants, derma-planning, etc., have been proven to be helpful for both hypertrophic and atrophic scarring. Today, lasers have advanced and earned a unique position in the managerial hierarchy. Laser beams have demonstrated their effectiveness not only in the control of scars but also in treating cases of persistent acne. This analysis compares several laser treatment possibilities and focuses on the laser solution that is most appropriate for particular kinds of marks. It describes how lasers may be used efficiently and how using them in conjunction with other therapies may enhance their effectiveness. The chosen publications provide detailed information on particular laser patterns and their effects on different scar kinds. It involves addressing an individual entirely, using an integrated approach to medical treatment, involving managing pimples and scarring associated with them. In conclusion of the evaluation, it is possible to determine if lasers are a viable way to treatment for acne-related scarring than traditional techniques or whether further research is required before selecting them as a comprehensive solution.
