Many options: Seek evaluation by a reputable facial plastic surgeon or dermatologist. Depending on the depth of the scars, discoloration, presence of active acne, etc there might be different treatment plans recommended. Assuming no active acne, treatment options include peels, laser treatments, dermabrasion, etc.

Scar Treatment: Many options are available depending on the depth, severity, and number of scars you have. Laser resurfacing, dermabrasion, filler injections and surgical excision can all play a role in improving your scarring. Consult with a physician who specializes in scarring to plan the best course of treatment for you.
