Acne Scars: The aad recommends acne scar surgery as most effective for many pock mark acne scars. In this procedure, which generally is performed on an outpatient basis, a surgeon might remove your scars with a punch and potentially will graft another piece of skin into the place the scar had been. In another technique, the surgeon uses a scalpel to separate your upper layer of skin from the scar tissue.

Ice pick scarring: Improvement is possible with treatment. Options for treatment depend on the age of the scars, presence of active acne, depth of scars, other skin conditions which may be present, etc. Treatments can include lasers, peels, scar revision, dermabrasion, topical treatments, etc. Seek a facial plastic surgeon or dermatologist with experience in that area.

Improvement in scars: Is possible, but once a scar is present, it can never be totally removed. Options for treatment depend on the age of the scars, presence of active acne, depth of scars, other skin conditions which may be present, etc. Treatments can include lasers, peels, scar revision, dermabrasion, topical treatments, etc. Seek a facial plastic surgeon or dermatologist with experience in that area.
