Treatment of Atrophic Facial Acne Scars With the 1064-nm Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser

Abstract

Treatment with the nonablative 1064-nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser results in significant quantitative improvements in skin topography in patients with mild to moderate atrophic acne scars. Continued incremental improvements were noted at 1-, 3-, and 6-month follow-up, indicating ongoing dermal collagen remodeling after the treatment.
