For many years, acne scarring was considered to be a result of severe acne, but recent research shows that scarring can affect any patient regardless of the severity.

So to help us gain a better understanding of the assessment and treatment strategies currently available, Dr. Matthew Keller speaks with Dr. Linda Stein Gold, Director of Dermatology Clinical Research at Henry Ford Health System in Detroit.
