Group (A) salicylic acid gel phonophoresis program for five minutes, three days per week (day after day) for six weeks. Group (B) salicylic gel (topical approach) through the treatment period. Assessment of comprehensive acne severity scale(CASS) was carried out before and 6 weeks of treatment.Results: this study showed statistically significant decrease in the CASS after the treatment for Group (A) and (B) with a p-value of 0.001 and 0.008 respectively.Also the post - treatment results of the present study revealed no significant difference of the mean values of CASS between the two groups with more (0.269) p-value.
