Acne scarring is a common disfiguring sequela of acne vulgaris which can lead to serious psychosocial problems and have a negative effect on patients’ quality of life. Although a variety of approaches can be used to treat atrophic acne scars, disadvantages such as long‐healing time, dyspigmentation, infections, and prolonged erythema make these treatments unsatisfactory especially for Asians.
