Abstract
Acne scarring is often treated with dermabrasion and results are evalu ated using photographs. We have studied 25 patients before treatment a nd up to 1 year after dermabrasion for acne scars. Comparisons of resu lts evaluated in different ways show that dermabrasion works best for superficial scars, results for more severe forms of scarring being les s predictable.
