Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic

Post acne scaring is a complication of inflammatory acne.
Acne scarring can be of various types: box-car scars, ice-pick scars, rolling type of acne scars etc
There are various options available with a dermatologist to improve the appearance of acne scars like Dermabrasion, Fractional CO 2 Laser, Subcision, Microneedling/Dermaroller, chemical peeling, Punch excision and grafting etc.
I would recommend that you visit a nearby dermatologist. After examining the type of acne scaring that you have on your face, your dermatologist would be able to tell you the procedure Or combination of procedures that would achieve the best results in your case.
Each procedure is suited best for a particular type of acne scars e.g while microneedling would improve Rolling type of acne scars much better than Ice-pick scars; whereas punch excision and grafting Or Punch floatation is mainly for Ice-pick acne scars.
