What methods can I do to improve my indented acne scars and hyperpigmentation?

May 22, 2017
Asked By:Anlex in Garden Grove, CA

My skin had scars like shown due to a bad cosmetologist experience. She used a drawing knife to cut open some pimples 6-7 years ago. Then, things got worse when I tried to improve my scars using self TCA cross . I did the procedure over winter and now left with PIH. My question is : is there a method to both get rid of the acne scars and PIH? I'm looking for results that save budget as I'm still a college student. Wolf one fraxel laser treatment does what I'm looking for?
