Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Moderate to severe acne may cause depressed acne scars, which are also called acne holes. Use laser skin resurfacing. Laser resurfacing is highly effective for acne scar holes. Follow your doctor's directions after treatment to aid in proper healing. Typically, you will need to apply antibiotic ointment to the affected area for a couple weeks. Use filler treatments. A doctor injects synthetic fillers into the skin to "fill in" acne holes. Treat acne holes with chemical peels. Your doctor will apply a highly acidic solution to get rid of the top layer of skin. Damage to this skin promotes new skin growth. Healing takes up to 14 days.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
