Brief Answer:
Fractional CO 2 ablative Laser
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I have gone through your query and I have also reviewed the Images.
I can notice that you seem to have a few active acne on the right side of nose, however, there is not much Or obvious acne scaring. However, still if it is a cause of concern for you and you wish for an improvement in acne scaring you may opt for a 'Fractional CO 2 ablative Laser Re-surfacing'. The laser would ablate i.e vaporise upper skin layers (epidermis and part of papillary dermis) from the scar as well as from the margins of scar, so that the new skin that forms as a part of wound healing process, would be more level and cosmetically better looking. This seem to be the most practical option for a difficult to approach area in your case.
Regards
