Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
You seem to have severe acne scars which definitely require scar revision procedures.
If you are not interested in lasers, you can try dermaroller or microneedling procedure. This may be coupled with microdermabrasion and chemical peels. But you have to remember that you may not be able to get a flawless face. These procedures will improve the overall cosmetic appearance but will never give completely smooth skin.
So keeping a realistic expectation is very important before you undertake these procedures.
Take care.
