Ablative fractional CO2 laser (AFL) is an established first‐line energy‐based treatment for acne scars. Microneedle radiofrequency (MNRF) is an emerging treatment, also targeting the skin in fractions. No studies have so far compared AFL with MNRF for acne scars in a direct controlled, side‐by‐side comparison. In this study, we compared AFL and MNRF treatments for acne scars in a randomized split‐face trial with blinded response evaluation, objective measures, and patient‐reported outcomes.
