Several treatments have been designed to reduce and improve acne scars. But there isn’t much evidence that any of them work. Treatments to get rid of acne scars include laser resurfacing, dermabrasion and chemical peels, and a procedure called skin needling. These treatments aren’t available on the NHS because they’re considered to be cosmetic surgery. Ask your dermatologist if any of these are an option for you.
