Is it possible to regenerate collagen growth on a white hypopigmented acne scar that is an icepick or pit scar?

Asked By:earhelpquestions in New York, NY

Are white scars still treatable for the indention. I'm not asking about getting the color back...just the ability to raise a scar so it's flatter on my face instead of pitted. Would a laser or restalyne work to help generate collagen in this area?
