These can be improved with a combination of lasers, Aerolase, microneedling/prp, skin lightening, peels, and skin care. Sun protection is essential. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Can be improved with microneedling PRP, low density CO2 laser, subcision and filler, as well as agents to help improve skin colour- see a dermatologist near you for treatments. Improvements can be made, but count on at least 6-8 sessions over time, especially given your skin type. Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
