“…It was seen that occurrence of hyperpigmentation post procedure were seen more in case of fractional CO2 laser than dermaroller therapy and the incidence of pain and discomfort during the procedure was experienced more with dermaroller than fractional CO2 laser. [8] Erythema which was seen more in most of the dermaroller patients (93%) and it was also seen in the laser group comprising 77.4% which was temporary and lasted for 2-3 days post procedure. Hyperpigmentation which was seen in around 9.7% of fractional CO2 laser patients and 5% patients of dermaroller which resolved on its own within a period of 4-6 weeks without any sequelae.…”

Background: Acne vulgaris is a common chronic skin disease involving blockage and/or inflammation of pilosebaceous units (hair follicles and their accompanying sebaceous gland). Acne can present -non-inflammatory lesions (open and closed comedones), inflammatory lesions (papules, pustules, and nodules), and varying degrees of scarring or a mixture of both, affecting mostly the face but also the back and chest. Acne leads to significant morbidity that is associated with residual scarring and psychological disturbances such as poor self-image, depression, and anxiety, which leads to a negative impact on quality of life. Subjects and Methods: Total 200 patients divided into two groups of 100 each. One group was treated with dermaroller every four weeks for a period of 24 weeks and the other group was treated with fractional CO2 laser again every four weeks for a period of 24 weeks. Results: Six patients in dermaroller and nine patients in fractional CO2 laser group developed hyperpigmentation post procedure. Conclusion: Itching is not seen as a complication in the treatment with derma-roller, but in case of fractional CO2 laser group, a very small percentage of patients experienced itching a few days after the treatment due to peeling off of the scab that was formed after treatment.

“…The observer used Goodman's Qualitative grading system of post acne scaring (Fabbrocini et al, 2012). According to this classification for response to treatment for each patient three dermatologists compare before treatment and after treatment digital photographs, number, type and the grade of acne scar.…”

“…Atrophic postacne scars are common complications of acne and exhibit variable morphologies, such as ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars . Scar resurfacing techniques, whether surgical or nonsurgical, constitute the basis of management of atrophic postacne scars . Following treatment of scars, new production of collagen by fibroblasts begins ~3‐5 days after the wound is created.…”

Background Therapies for postacne scarring act through modulation of elastin and collagen, and collagen III might therefore represent a biomarker of treatment effectiveness. Patients and methods Patients (n = 70) with postacne scars and individuals without scars (n = 56) were included in this case‐control study. Patients were treated with Dermaroller microneedling, trichloroacetic acid chemical reconstruction, punch excision, or scar subcision. Scar severity was graded immediately before and after treatment with a photographic quartile scale and the ECCA scale. Serum levels of collagen III were measured in control individuals and in patients, before treatment, 1 month after the first treatment session, and 4 months after the final session. Results Circulating levels of collagen III were significantly higher in patients with postacne scarring (24.1 ± 12.5) before treatment than in control individuals (2.6 ± 0.8). Circulating levels of collagen in patients were significantly lower 4 months posttreatment (14.3 ± 8.1) than at baseline. The mean percentage change in serum collagen III was positively correlated with both the mean percentage improvement by photographic evaluation (r = .530, P < .000) and the mean percentage change in the ECCA scale (r = .632, P < .000). Conclusion Circulating collagen III is a biomarker for improvement of postacne scarring following different therapies.
