Is there an experienced dermatologist/plastic surgeon in Indianapolis, IN specializing in pitted acne scarring, spec. subcision?

Looking for an experienced dermatologist/plastic surgeon in Indianapolis, IN area to treat pitted acne scars; specifically in subcision. I've already had laser treatments (to name one, CO2/fraxel) but it ended up leaving me with more scars so I am not interested in that. I have an olive skin tone due to half of my ethnicity being asian. Having a hard time finding/searching for an experienced doctor specifically for this that isn't out of state.
