Chemical Peels

• For very mild acne scarring, a chemical peel is often the most common route to take. Chemical peels require the application of a mild acid to the skin in order to remove the top layer, leaving a smoother, clearer surface.
  
  

Punch Techniques

• If you are left with acne scars that are characterized as deep, "ice pick" scars -- similar to those of chickenpox scars, undergoing punch techniques is an option to consider. Punch techniques involve treating the scar with a skin graft that's usually taken from behind the ear.
  
  

Skin Augmentation

• In order to restore the surface of skin that has been scarred from acne, another option is to undergo collagen injections, or augmentation, in order to restore the surface level of your skin.
  
  

Dermabrasion

• Dermabrasion is another common technique to remove damaged skin. In dermabrasion, machines with rotating, diamond-edged wheels resurface your skin.
  
  

Creams

• If you choose to forgo surgical procedures for your acne scars, there are plenty of topical creams on the market that contain ingredients such as Retin-A and alpha hydroxyl acid, which help stimulate the formation of collagen to improve your acne scarring.
