Yes.: Sorry, i don't know what "ib" stands for. But to answer your question, yes -- shallow acne scarring can be treated effectively. Your dermatologist or a plastic surgeon should be able to help you with that.

Depends: Most acne scarring can be improved using chemical peels, lasers, dermabrasion, and fillers. It may never completely disappear, but may get very close.
