I had a few acne scars before and over time they healed. now i have a few again and they are healing slowly. can i speed up the healing without lasers?

Yes: There are several agents which help to mitigate scarring. We like to use a topical retinoid as part of our program. The use of vitamin c topically can be very helpful as well. See your dermatologist for help.

No: You cannot speed up healing. It takes time. However, you can delay healing but manipulating your acne scars: picking at them, squeezing them etc.

Time, sun avoidance: It really takes time to heal scars. But sun avoidance and use of sunscreens will help prevent worsening of the scars. Lasers can help fade them more quickly, but they're expensive.
