Hello,
Welcome to health care magic.

You seem to be having pitted scars of acne. Do not worry. There are a lot of treatments available to make it better. Basically there are three types of pimple scars. Depending upon what is the majority of scars that you have treatments vary.

Treatments available for it include Subcision, Derma roller ( Microneedling ) technique,Microdermabrasion, Ablative laser resurfacing, Non ablative laser etc.Fractional erbium yag laser and Pixel lasers have shown good results.
Get a consultation from a dermatologist who is experienced in cosmetology. He will assess your scars and plan treatment. You might need multiple sittings of different modalities of treatments for maximal benefit. You need to have patience because results will be gradual. After care instructions should be strictly followed and after procedure excessive sun exposure should be avoided.

But scar is a scar, your skin is never going to be baby smooth, but the pits will fill up and look much better.
Hope this helped
Take care
