Dermatologist,  's  Response
There are number of ways you can treat acne scars. these include:
1. Fractional pulsed CO2 laser treatment
2. Dermaroller
3. Subscision and TCA CROSS technique
4. Punch Extraction and Punch Float.
5. Platelet rich plasma therapy
6. Autologus fat transfer treatment
7. Dermal fillers like juvederm etc.
Usually dermatologists combine above mentioned treatments to achieve maximum results. Usually sessions are done once in a month and depending on the severity, require 4-6 sessions (sometimes even more). Use of sunscreen is absolute must during the treatment.
