Secondary	Overall Skin improvement assessed by Derma Scan	The Derma Scan System utilizes two special lighting systems (RGB +UV) and smart skin analyzer software that allows two images (before and after care) to be compared side by side, which can be used to detect the changes in skin.	6 months
Secondary	Photographs	Digital imaging device using a grid background with controlled lighting and setting to grade acne scar improvement on a quartile grading scale(1 = 1% to 25%, 2 = 26 to 50%, 3 = 51 to 75%, 4 = >76% improvement).	6 months
Secondary	To evaluate the impact on the quality of life (DLQI)	The Dermatology Life Quality Index questionnaire (DLQI) is 10 questions were asked to the patients and score is 0-3 for each question. The DLQI is calculated by summing the score of each question resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired.	6 months
