BACKGROUND: Acne scarring is a common complication of acne and yet no appropriate and effective single treatment modality has been developed. We suggest a technique consisting of the focal application of higher @entity2804 ( @entity2974 ) concentrations by pressing hard on the entire @entity308 area of @entity2318 . This technique is called chemical reconstruction of skin scars (CROSS) by the authors. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical effects of CROSS on @entity2318 in dark-complexioned @entity1 . METHODS: An analysis was conducted of 65 @entity1 with @entity2318 who were treated with CROSS in our hospitals between July 1996 and July 2001. Thirty-three @entity1 were treated with 65% @entity2974 CROSS and 32 @entity1 were treated with 100% @entity2974 CROSS. All @entity1 had Fitzpatrick skin types IV-V. RESULTS: @entity1 treatment data indicated that 27 of 33 @entity1 (82%) (the 65% @entity2974 group) and 30 of 32 @entity1 (94%) (the 100% @entity2974 group) experienced a good clinical response. All @entity1 in the 100% @entity2974 group who received five or six courses of treatment showed excellent results. Good satisfaction rates in the 65% and 100% @entity2974 groups were recorded. There were no cases of significant complication. CONCLUSION: CROSS is a safe and very effective single modality for the treatment of @entity2318 with no significant complications.
