      The problem is, you can only replace them with more scars. It’s best to just reshape the scars, so pitted acne scars are worth treating for example as you can smooth the contours of the ‘pit’ , making them less obvious.

      Some treatment will claim to increase the amount of collagen in an area, getting rid of scars. I am yet to be completely convinced, but then again I haven’t seen much of it.
