Can my acne scars be improved significantly? (Photo)

I think my scars are rolling atrophic. What are my treatment options? How long will the treatment plan be? How much % improvement can i expect? Attached are my photos and there's picture when I try to smile so you can see how the scar change when I animate, not sure if its tethered though. Thanks for the advice!

A combination of eMatrix and Fillers would be best to treat your scars.  Please consult an expert in Asian skin for the best cosmetic results.  Best, Dr. Green

I am with Dr Weiner- INFINI RF - 3-4 sessions will give a good overall improvement in scars and pore size. The good thing with INFINI is that the downtime is very low- 3 days at maximum. 

I would space treatments every 4 weeks. Towards the end of the revision program, subcision and dermal fillers (Bellafill or Juvederm) will address a few atrophic scars left. Realistically should improve by 70% at least with above treatment plan. 

All the best and great pictures- at last some one can take angled or tangental lighting to help us ( you would not believe the amount of patients who take photos caked in make up and ask for advice) Good work.

I think the Infini is a great option for you. I would do at least 3 treatments. After that, deeper scars can be filled with Bellafill. Other options include subcision, PRP, laser resurfacing. Please see link.
