Is there a permanent treatment for acne scars?

Yes: The most permanent way to treat acne scars is using a laser such as the fractionated co2 laser or fraxel re:store laser. These laser treatments have become very popular due to their efficacy when performed by an experienced board certified dermatologist. In the past chemical peels have also been used with varying success and traditional dermabrasion as well, but this has fallen out of favor.

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. None of these, however, result in flawless skin. Be realistic, stay with it and you will see permanent improvement.
