depending on how severe the scars are there are many different treatment that you can try. Milder flat scars with basically just discolouration you could try a bleaching cream. If the scars are slightly more severe or you want to get rid of them a bit faster you could try chemical peels, If scars are really severe or you have hypertrophic or keloid scarring which is raised scarring then you could try chemical peels, laser resurfacing, scar revision (which is surgery when the entire scar is cut out and skin sew back together similiar to skin graphs). Punch grafting if it is icepick scaring which is the like scar revision. Or again if it is keliod scaring (raised scars) steriod injection directly into the scar can help flatten it over time. All of these treatment would be performed by a cosmetic surgeon and can be quite pricey.
If your scars are'nt very severe then you could try chemical peels at home they can be bought quite cheaply, are simple to do and for milder peels such as gylcolic, lactic, and fruit acid peels there is no down time. TCA peels can also be performed at home but i would'nt recommend them for a first time user. If you want to try the peels start off with the milder ones. TCA also has a recovery period of about a week when the skin is actually peeling, whereas the milder peels don't actually peel they are just a deep exfoliation, so they basically just speed up the skins natural process. They also leave skin looking great just like a facial. Once your more experienced with the peels you could then try TCA for a deeper peel. Also Gycolic acid and fruit acid peels also shrink the pores for upto a few days after you have used it. here are some websites that should be of use.

Try Fraxel, which is a non-surgical laser that will repair your acne scars by using thermal energy to repair the dermis. There are also other non-surgical procedures you can try. Check out this website: http://www.richmondplasticsurgeons.com/skin/ But you should definitely see a doctor because your problem can be fixed. They can even help you finance the procedure.

Depending on the depth of the scars, chemical peels or laser skin resurfacing may help, otherwise there is not much you can do about them. Consult a plastic surgeon who specialises in facial and skin resurfacing treatments.

etin-A for acne scars is one possibility for the problem. Reitn-A for acne scars helps with healing and cuts down on the formation of new pimples.
Talk to your doctor about Retin-A for acne scars and see what she recommends. Be sure to tell your doctor or dermatologist about any other medications you are taking before you consider Retin-A for acne scars.
