I finished my accutane course and got rid of acne. I need help in finding out the right treatment for these acne scars.
Thank you.

The majority of your scars are the classic ice pick type of scarring. You also have some rolling scars and boxcar scars. For ice pick type scars some people have had success with TCA Cross, but other people also experienced worsening of their scars. For rolling scars, multiple subcisions may help to cut the scar bands that tether the skin downwards and also create a layer of scar tissue underneath to lift the scars up closer to normal skin. I would advise to get as much permanent improvement as possible from subcisions and then fine tune with fillers for the rolling scars.

For general texture issues, after you have gotten the most improvement possible from the procedures above lasers may help to soften the scars even further. Some claim that derma rolling or dermastamping in combination with topicals is effective. It will take many many procedures and time to get to a decent level of improvement.
