There are several: There are several 'permanent' treatments for acne scars. Artefill is a long lasting filling agent that can elevate some acne scars. Other scars can be excised or 'released' with surgery. Fractionated lasers (fraxel dual, fraxel re:pair) produce consistent long-term/ permanent results.
