Many choices: can be overwhelming, but it's great that you have options. The best choice is highly dependent on many factors, including your skin type and other medical conditions. This question really is best answered by an experienced physician who can meet with you in person to discuss the treatments. Finding one that you are comfortable with would be your starting point.

Acne Scars: No way for us to tell you without at least pictures. Scars can be hypertrophic or atrophic with different approaches. Generally ablative CO2 is not firsts line in depressed scars in Asian skin; however, getting your scars treated, is not like shopping at a super marker. You don't purchase a treatment off the shelf, you consult a specialist who will make recommendations specific to your condition.
