| Abstract |
Acne scarring is a common sequela of acne for which no single treatment method is uniformly effective. The chemical reconstruction of skin scars (CROSS) therapy using high-concentration trichloroacetic acid (TCA) has shown promise as a cheap, safe, and effective modality of treatment in acne scars. To assess the therapeutic response of 70% TCA CROSS on atrophic acne scars and to evaluate the adverse effects of this therapy. Fifty-three patients with postacne atrophic scars were treated with 70% of TCA focal application every 2 weeks by the CROSS technique and results evaluated on 3 parameters: physician assessment, patient assessment, and satisfaction level of patients, after a follow-up of 3 months. Good or excellent improvement (>50%) was seen in 66% of patients on physician and patient assessments. The patients were either very satisfied or satisfied in 81.1% of cases. Patients with predominantly boxcar scars and higher pretreatment scar severity were associated with better treatment outcomes. Age, sex, duration of scars, or type of skin did not significantly influence the treatment outcome and adverse effects. The study showed that 70% of TCA is a safe and effective treatment option in all types of atrophic acne scars, especially in severe boxcar scars. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 June 2021.
All research outputs
#4,127,992
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Dermatologic Surgery
#353
of 3,065 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#49,567
of 278,918 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Dermatologic Surgery
#4
of 34 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,065 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.6. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 278,918 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 34 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.
