Abstract

Objectives: This study sought to determine the efficacy and safety profile of calcium hydroxylapatite filler in the treatment of acne scars. Methods: Ten subjects with a variety of acne scars were treated with calcium hydroxylapatite filler. Results: Saucerized acne scars responded to treatment; ice‐pick scars did not. Results lasted, at least to some degree, for 12 months after treatment. No significant treatment complications were noted. Conclusions: Calcium hydroxylapatite is a safe and effective long‐term filler for the treatment of saucerized acne scars.
