You can put vaseline on acne scars, there's nothing stopping you, but it will do absolutely nothing for your acne scars. It will however make your skin more oily as the vaseline is oil based. Adding more oil to the skin will block pores and cause more infection within the pores, causing spots.
So, Vaseline isn't a good option.
However it depends on what your acne scars are like. If they are still red and almost flat, then they will fade with time and become less noticeable. But I have found a lot of success with patients using microdermabrasion for red acne scars as it speeds up cell renewal. Not only this but it improves the overall quality, tone and texture of your skin in general. Fruit acid peels are gentle and also may work
But please contact a dermatologist for this, do not attempt this at home.
If your acne scars are indented or deep, then microdermabrasion and acidic peels may not have any effect and if they do it will not be significant.
However you can have laser. I use a pulsed dye laser and due to the fact that acne scars do not run right the way through the depth of the skin, the laser can completely remove the scarring. We can also use a dermaroller on the scars, but this is more expensive and more painful.
The best advice i can give you is they will fade somewhat on there own, but you should contact a good dermatologist or cosmetic clinic. Make sure they are reputable and fully licenced though. Usually a consultation is free and they can give you the best advice for your skin type and problem. There is no obligation to have treatment but it's always a good idea to know what your options are.
