Many ways.: For a simple isolated scar, scar revision is probably the best way. This would involve cutting out the old scar and carefully suturing the incision back together, hopefully with a more favorable aesthetic outcome. A qualified plastic surgeon should be able to help you.

Depends: There are different types of scars from acne. Pits, craters, etc.. Often use of mechanical dermabrasion for crater-like scars helps reduce their visual effects. Occasionally dermal fillers help with these also. "ice-pick" like scars are more difficult to deal with, and may remain looking like enlarged pores. If very extensive and close together these are removed surgically to help.

Based on size,depth: Superficial scars can be treated with peels & lasers. Deeper scars may benefit from dermabrasion. Ice pick scars often do best with a punch excision and then dermabrasion some weeks later. The best recommendations are based on your skin and the scars. Good luck.

Dermaroller: Dermaroller treatments can naturally, safely and significantly improve acne scarring. I perform them in my office and the results are quite dramatic.
