Hexilak is usually to reduce post oeprative scars. Go for laser treatment or micro needling.

Dear lybrate-user, thank you for your query. The treatment of acne scars depend on several factors. The important ones are the type and duration of scars. Highly rewarding treatment modalities are available for acne scars that include chemical peels, dermabrasion, microneedling, laser or even surgical excisions. The choice of the treatment depends on the assessment of your condition by a dermatologist. Hexilak silicone gel alone may not be a very effective option. Please send the pictures of your acne scars so that a better advice can be offered. Alternately, you can also visit your local dermatologist. Thanks.
