Acne vulgaris is an inflammatory skin disease that occurs mainly during adolescence and affects almost 100% of young people. Skin lesions are located mainly on the face and back. The disease is characterized by a prolonged course and natural regression. There is a significant risk of scarring, which has a high impact on self-esteem and the ability to function socially. The study aimed to present a treatment in reduction of symptoms of acne vulgaris and associated acne scars in a 25-year-old client of a cosmetology salon.
