title: Acne scar correction using calcium hydroxylapatite in a carrier-based gel.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  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.
