- Opis:
- Background: Acne scars are a common problem for those suffering from acne vulgaris. They may result in low self-esteem, especially if located in visible places such as the face. They may even impede normal societal functioning and withdrawal from the environment. Aim of the study: To investigate the effects of 20% glycol acid and fractional mesotherapy on the reduction of acne scars. Material and methods: We used interviews, case analysis and assessment of the effects of glycolic acid treatment and fractional mesotherapy on a 33-year-old female patient who experienced severe phlegmonosa acne. Case report: This 33-year-old female patient was struggling with acne at age 29. Purulent cysts were located on the cheeks and jaws on both sides of her face, leaving deep scars that disturbed everyday functioning. She was alternately given four 20% glycolic acid treatments and four fractional mesotherapy treatments. Conclusions: The combination of fractional mesotherapy treatments and exfoliation with 20% glycolic acid resulted in significant improvement. Reduced inflammation contributed to decreased acne scars as well as improvement in life quality.
