Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of Partecipants With Improvement of Acne Scars and Marks and Without New Acne Scars After 4 Weeks

    The primary endpoint will be the proportion of subjects with acne scars and marks improved with respect to baseline and, at the same time, without any new facial acne scars after 4 weeks of treatment (treatment success). The improvement of acne scars and marks will be assessed as the change of at least one grade in the qualitative Scar Global Assessment (SGA) by Goodman and Baron between baseline and Week 4. The number of new acne scars will be assessed by count and comparison with baseline.
