Many options: I agree with dr. Pichler that acne scars can be improved but your expectations need to be focused on improvement rather than elimination of the scars completely. With reasonable expectations you will likely be happy with treatment. In many cases, multiple approaches are needed to get the best results. I hope this information is helpful.

Can only Improve: You cannot "erase" scars. Poor scars can be improved through the following methods: 1) scar massage 2) silicone sheeting (a kind of silicone tape you where over the scar) 3) steroid injections 4) laser treatment (helps remove coloring) 5) scar revision (removing the scar and starting over). Consult with a plastic surgeon to find out which combination of these would best work for you.
