There are several effective treatments for mild to very severe acne, as well as for the reduction and possible prevention of scars. The therapeutic method, be it topical, oral, injectable, and/or surgical, should be chosen based on the type of predominant lesion, its main location, intensity, among other characteristics of the clinical picture. The therapy should achieve the best possible results with minimum risk of side effects. A vast therapeutic arsenal is at the clinician's disposal for his/her protocol of choice.
