Facial scars: You can improve the scars with facial resurfacing using laser. I don't think you can get rid of scars completely.

Acne facial scars: Multiple options for improving the appearance of "ice pick" acne scars exist. Depending on your skin and exact circumstances your faical plastic surgeon or dermatologist may recommend laser treatments (including co2, 1550 nm erbium), peels, dermabrasion, or well as topical treatments. Seek a physician with experience.
