Acne scars can be a lasting reminder of past breakouts, often affecting both skin texture and self-confidence. While over-the-counter creams and home remedies may help fade mild scarring, professional in-office treatments offer the most effective results for smoothing and rejuvenating your skin. Here are three of the top options recommended by dermatologists and aesthetic specialists.

Microneedling
Microneedling is a popular minimally invasive treatment using very fine needles to puncture the skin. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, so the skin repairs itself naturally.
Benefits include:
- Smoother skin texture
- Reduced appearance of shallow acne scars
- Improved absorption of skincare products
- Minimal downtime compared to more aggressive treatments
For enhanced results, microneedling is often combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which uses your body’s natural growth factors to speed healing and collagen production.
Laser Resurfacing
Laser treatments can reach the deeper layers of the skin to resurface and regenerate tissue. Different types of lasers are used depending on the severity and type of acne scars.
Benefits include:
- Significant reduction in scar depth and pigmentation
- Smoother, tighter, and more even skin tone
- Long-lasting results with a few sessions
While laser resurfacing may require a bit more downtime, it delivers dramatic improvements, making it one of the most effective treatments available.
Dermal Fillers
For deeper, depressed acne scars, dermal fillers provide instant improvement by lifting the skin from beneath the scar. Hyaluronic acid fillers are commonly used because they’re safe, temporary, and natural-looking.
Benefits include:
- Immediate smoothing of pitted scars
- No recovery time
- Results lasting several months to over a year
