Indented Acne Scar

Hi,
Has anybody had any success with any treatment for acne scarring (indentations / atrophic)?
I have a single recent scar that I'd like to treat and wondering what has helped others?
Thanks

Yes, you're probably right. Mine is about 1mm deep and 1cm by 0.5cm. Not noticeable and nearly flat with cover up but I know it's there. As it's only 3 months old I'm wondering if it will fill out any more with time though before I do anything.
I'm worried about having a bad reaction to a peel or whether over time with daily use of Glycolic acid it will fade.

Also second microdermabrasion. I had a lot of acne scarring (although I'm not sure how indented they were TBH) and it completely sorted me out.

Beauty therapist did it quite aggressively and my face was quite red for a day, but result was AMAZING!

Brilliant, thanks for the tip.

I had a useful consultation at another clinic this evening. They were much more helpful. The clinician recommended waiting another 2 months to see how much it improved and then if it hasn't trying Dermapen treatment. This seems a much more sensible idea. The scar has actually improved by itself over the last week or 2 though.
