Hello
Thanks for the query,
Acne scars are of various types.
Some are superficial, called as ice pick scars while others are deep called as box scars.
Treatment depends on the type of scar.
Following modalities are available.
1.For superficial scars retinoid based peeling creams can be used.
2.If creams don’t work chemical peels can be done, Glycolic acid is mainly used for this and peeling is done once in three weeks.
3.For slightly deeper scars mechanical procedures like dermabrasion or dermaroller can be used.
4.If scars are very deep like box scars LASERS can be used.
Apart from these surgical modalities like punch flotation or microneedling are also available.
You can choose the best suited modality based on depth of scars you have.
Meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis and proper treatment.
Hope this helps.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
