Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

Best,

For elevated scars, be they hypertrophic or keloid, the object is to flatten them and make them flush with the surrounding normal skin. When this is the case, intralesional anti-inflammatory injections can be used to achieve the flattening.
If the scar is indented, depressed, I.e. atrophic, then subcision with or without the accompanying use of an HA filler may be used to elevate and smooth the scar and make it more flush with the surrounding normal skin. 
You would be wise to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist scar treatment specialist, and be especially wary if you are hawked expensive "bells and whistles" fraxel laser, RF or other gizmos treatments for these simple problems. Hope this helps and best of luck.
