Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Percentage of Participants With Facial Acne Improvement Using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale
This assesses the level of improvement of acne scarring using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale. It is done through using photographic evaluation, comparing the baseline photograph to a photograph taken 3 months post the last treatment. The options for the acne scarring improvement are very much improved, much improved, improved, no change, or worse. The photographic evaluator decides this improvement based off of scar appearance differences amongst the photographs.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Investigator Satisfaction Questionnaire
The investigator chooses if they are extremely satisfied, satisfied, slightly satisfied, slightly dissatisfied, dissatisfied, or extremely dissatisfied with the results.
Subject Satisfaction Questionnaire
The subject chooses if they are extremely satisfied, satisfied, slightly satisfied, slightly dissatisfied, dissatisfied, or extremely dissatisfied with the results.
