But first, obtain an evaluation to see the degree of scarring and therapy alternatives to consider given your skin type. Lasers will be the best option along with possibly surgical treatment.

Acne scarring is best treated with lasers, injections, and peels
I have been treating acne scars for almost 20 years. The best combination is either a series of injections of restylane into the depressions followed by lasers or peels. Fraxel is amazing if the scars are deep or superficial. The only hesitation is that your skin needs to be type I to III. If you have darker complexion then you may utilize the V-beam for any redness and a series of chemical peels for the acne scars.

CO2 laser for acne scaring
CO2 Laser is a very effective way to treat fine lines, wrinkles, scaring and overall resurfacing of the skin. It may not, however, be the best option for you. Different skin tones need to be treated differently for optimal result and to avoid further complication. My recommendation is for you to be seen and evaluated by a board certified Plastic surgeon or Dermatologist in your area. They will design a treatment that is best for your skin.
Best of luck

Procedures for Acne Scars
Acne scars can be a tough problem, but there are different treatments available depending on the types of scars you have and your skin type. Without seeing you in person it is almost impossible to give you medically sound advice. Even photos do not give a 3 dimensional image of your scars. Please see a Dermatologist in your area to be evaluated in person. I wish you good luck.
