Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thanks for the query.

Post-acne scars are three types - box scars, icepick (pinpoint scars), and rolling scars. Pinpoint scars are difficult to treat while box scars are easy.

No creams or tablets can help you out with scars.
The best technique is CO2 fractional laser with subscision. It takes 5 to 6 sitting but results are better than any other procedure.
Dermaroller is also another method but less effective than above.
Filler has a hiding effect it fills the pits and gives an impression of fullness and is not permanent.
Chemical peels if scars are not much prominent then peels also could be effective.

These are techniques you can go through. All procedures take 4 to 6 sitting and 5 to 6 months for better results.

Hope I helped you.

Thanks and regards.
