There are generally three viable alternatives that we utilize on a regular basis:

  1. Erbium Laser which generally works with one treatment, but can be repeated if desired.
  2. Fraxel Laser which generally provides some improvement after 5 or 6 treatments.
  3. Injectables to fill the acne scars. This provides temporary but quick improvement of acne scars.

With any of these alternatives, you should find an experienced practitioner who is well trained.
