Acne scars of all shapes and sizes, mild and severe should be treated with immediate caution and care. The more severe your acne scar the more potent the treatment should be!
The following is a list with optional procedures used to fade, treat and eliminate severe acne scars.
Laser treatment
Recognized for removing even the biggest of scars, layer by layer. The heat produced by the laser also tightens the skin, smoothing out the scars. This medical procedure uses a combination of laser carbon dioxide (CO2), and/or Erbium: YAG laser.
Punch graft
This procedure involves the physical removal of the tissue containing the scar, and either suture or replacement of the extirpated tissue. There are three main punch techniques used. These punch graft treatments are, Punch Excision, Punch Excision with Skin Grafting and Punch Elevation.
Dermabrasion
Thought to be one of the most efficient medical procedures for acne scars. The treatment is executed under local anesthetic; a high-speed brush is used to abrade the skin’s surface and alter the contour of scars. Superficial scars may be removed altogether, and deeper scars may be reduced in depth. However, dermabrasion does not work on all types of scars, and dermabrasion may cause pigmentation changes for individuals with darker skin.
Chemical peels
Chemical peels are acidic solutions that are used on the skin lesion. The solution acts on the outermost skin layers - causing them to disintegrate and be ‘peeled’ away to reveal the underlying, newer, unaffected skin. Improve small, depressed scars and maybe some large scars.
Photorejuvenation
Used with a broadband visible light or laser, over a span of 3-4 weeks with commonly 5 to 6 treatments which treat mild acne scarring by producing new collagen.
Microdermabrasion
Acne scar medical procedure for improving the overall skin tone and eliminating superficial mild acne scars. Procedure consists of fine aluminum crystals to produce microdermabrasion effect on the skin. A series of six peels over 1-2 weeks is recommended.
Have in mind; follow up treatments to maintain post surgery results are mandatory.

It’s interesting that once acne scars have formed, The only solution seems to be some surgical or at least invasive process
It is for this reason that it is important to highlight early treatment of Acne. If treated properly and with care from the start, the risk of getting acne scars are significantly lessened
