Implications: This article is a good summary of the currently available techniques of excision, subcision, and resurfacing. It does not mention dermal grafting, a technique that I personally use quite often. The maximum correction that one can achieve is 50-70% with a combination of multiple techniques.

Analysis: There is a large market to treat acne scarring. the current fillers do not do a great job of correcting the scars permanently. There is great need for a permanent method of elevation of scars.

I personally use dermal grafting,subcision, excision, and laser resurfacing to improve the apperance of scars by 50-70%, with multiple modalities.
