Background: Acne vulgaris often results in permanent scars, with atrophic scars being the most common type and posing a significant therapeutic challenge due to their prevalence and impact on patients' quality of life. Various treatment options exist, including the use of poly-d,l-lactic acid delivered via different methods.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of poly-d,l-lactic acid delivered via laser-assisted needle-free microjet injection for treating atrophic scars.

Methods: Five Korean participants with atrophic facial scars were recruited. Poly-d,l-lactic acid solution was administered via the Mirajet system in five sessions, with clinical assessments conducted at baseline, before each session, and at 12-week and 22-week follow-ups. Outcome measures included the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale and patient satisfaction scores.

Results: Positive results were observed at the 12-week and 22-week follow-ups, with high patient satisfaction and improvements in atrophic scars and skin texture. Mild discomfort and transient side effects were reported, with no adverse events observed during the follow-up period.

Conclusion: Poly-d,l-lactic acid delivered by a laser-assisted needle-free microjet injector was judged to be effective for improving atrophic the facial area. Further research, particularly through randomized controlled trials, is needed to validate these findings and assess the longer-term safety and sustainability of outcomes.
