I have loads of acne scars but this one just turns me off the most. Will this fade over time?

This scar will not go away. You need to microneedle it and do tca peels to soften it. It's over a muscle so you could get Botox as well to keep the area from creasing or making a line (this is optional). Alternate microneedle then let it heal then do a spot tca peel on the scar, repeat, it will take 6 months to a year. If the red color effects you then get a vascular laser called v-beam done to get rid of the redness (this only works on the red bloodcells and does nothing for the scar).

Thanks, How much do you think the cost will be for removing this specific scar?

You can do microneedle or derminator microneedle machine and tca peels at home so thats pretty cheap. It depends what country your in on pricing. Lasers are expensive and I don't recommend them first as you can have complications like hyperpigmentation. Vbeam is a couple hundred. Subcision a couple hundred. Your looking at for Drs treatments $1,000-3,000USD of course you can get the rest of your scars treated at the same time. Cheapest at doctors is subcision.
