EMatrix IR or RE for Acne Scars and Discoloration of Skin (Med Dark Skin)

My heritage is of Middle Eastern, and I have tons of acne scars with occasional flare ups still in my mid 30's. For most part my skin is now doing better but I'm left with discoloration on my face (uneven skin tone), and pitted scars (med size).

My question is - will the treatment provide noticeable difference in my case?
