Hello Dev, There are various treatments you can undergo to remove pimples and dark spots from your face.

• Mentioned below is a list of clinical pimples treatment options:

1. Chemical peels: In this method, strong chemicals are used to remove the top layer of skin to smoothen the depressed acne scars and provide the skin with an even color.
2. Laser skin surfacing: This is another popular technique for treating superficial scars with the use of a laser which is a device that uses a high-energy on the top layer of the skin. It works instantly and is done under local anesthesia or mild sedation.
3. Dermabrasion: It is the process of mechanical sanding of the upper layers of the scar, in which the new layer replaces the ground layer of the skin. This method is performed under anesthesia and the recovery usually takes 2 weeks.
4. Micro dermabrasion: This method of treatment is performed by scraping away the top layer of the scarred skin by passing tiny particles through a vacuum tube.  Mild scars can be treated with this method but multiple treatments may be required for effective results.
5. Soft tissue augmentation: It is another successful method to remove shallow acne scars. This is done with the help of an injectable filler in the tissues. These fillers last for about nine months but depict instant results.
6. Micro needling: It is the process that uses acupuncture-like needles to pierce the skin. These micro-injuries help to restart the skin's self-repair mechanism, which leads to the production of new collagen. The result is typically smoother, firmer looking skin.
7. Fat grafting: This is a technique to treat acne which takes fat from other areas of the body and injects it into the scars to fill the depressed areas. Some deep pitted scars are treated by cutting the core of the scar with a small needle and then stitching up the hole.
    

• And following are the ways to treat dark spots on face:

1. Laser treatment: Different types of lasers are available. The most common laser to treat dark spots on the skin uses an intense pulse light laser. The light targets melanin and breaks up the dark spots.
2. Microdermabrasion: In this, a special device is used that has an abrasive surface to remove the outer layer of the skin. This treatment promotes new collagen growth, which may help reduce spots.
3. Chemical peels: A chemical peel involves applying a solution to the skin, which exfoliates the surface, leading to new skin growth. It may gradually fade dark spots on the skin.
4. Cryotherapy: Cryotherapy is a procedure that involves applying liquid nitrogen to the dark patches to freeze them, which injures the skin cells. The skin often heals lighter afterward.
