Best Treatments for Ice Pick Acne Scars
The best treatments for ice-pick acne scars are fractional co2 laser resurfacing in the hands of a board certified dermatologist followed by intralesional saline injections at 3 week intervals (5-7 sessions).

Facial Acne Scar- Ice Pick
The deeper and more noticeable scars would likely do very well with punch excision and closure followed by a resurfacing procedure with inclusion of profractional resurfacing in the areas of scarring. You will likely need to have a series of resurfacing procedures to see optimal results.

Excision for ice pick acne scars can work
Excision for ice pick acne scars can work. But if the ice pick scarring is affecting all of your face this becomes less desirable because you have to excise or cut out too much skin. Another approach is to do deep chemical peeling and then do a multilayered approach with co2 laser resurfacing.

Excision of ice-pick acne scars
Punch excision of ice pick acne scars would seem to be a rather aggressive first approach. The results can be quite good, but the technique can also result in a larger or more noticeable scar if the area does not heal well. You might consider a more conservative approach such as the TCA cross method first.
