If they are permanent scars, there is no treatment available. If, however, you are referring to the red marks which last a long time after acne pimples go away, then you should ask a dermatologist for treatment to keep you from getting new marks, so you won't have to wait them out. And please don't pick or squeeze them.
Best.
