Fractionated laser treatment may be a great option.

It is hard to tell you exactly what would work for your scars since I can't see them, but I think the fractionated CO2 laser ie Total Fx would be an effective laser treatment for these type of scars. I have used it before to treat the stitch marks in scars and it has worked well.
