Detailed Answer:
Dear Sekhar, Hi & Welcome.
Thanks for posting your query on health care magic.
I can understand your concern.
The best treatment for the scars (post pimples or acne) on the face depends upon the type of acne scars. Therefore in an individual with different type of acne scars different procedures may be combined to achieve best possible results.
Certain type of procedures are better suited for a particular type of acne scar e.g 1. Rolling type of acne scars are better treated with Fractional CO2 Laser, Microneedling, subcision etc.
2. Box car scars improve with Dermabrasion, subcision, Fractional CO2 Laser, punch excision with elevation etc.
3. Ice pick scars are the most difficult and can be made to improve with either punch excision and primary closure Or punch excision and grafting.
So, a dermatologist's assessment is highly recommended so that he can choose the best treatment for you after a clinical examination.
Hope the suggestions given above would be useful in getting rid of the scars.
Best regards.

Brief Answer:
Microneeding and Dermabrasion.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Sekhar, Hi & Welcomeback.
Thanks for your reply and the compliments.
1. Microneeding also called collagen induction therapy is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of a device that contains fine needles. The needles are used to puncture the skin to create a controlled skin injury. Each puncture creates a channel that triggers the body to fill these microscopic wounds by producing new collagen and elastin. Through the process there is improvement in skin texture and firmness, as well as reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks.
2. In Microdermabrasion, tiny crystals are sprayed onto the skin to gently remove the outer layer of your skin. It is basically an exfoliation and skin rejuvenation procedure that leaves skin looking softer and brighter.
3. The cost of these treatment may vary from centres to centres it may be 5,000-10,000 rupees. But you are advised to find out the exact cost after consulting a dermatologist only.
Hope the given information would be useful to you in getting a successful treatment.
Best wishes.
