What is the Best Treatment for my Acne Scars? (photo)

Hello. I am a 25 year old female. I've been treated for my acne by my current dermatologist for 4 months.I have many acne scar, some are deep. First 3 months she gave me liquid soap for oily and sensitive skin (Sensiderm), topical Clindamysin phosphate solution for morning and titrating dose of Retinoic Acid night cream. Last month I had a Vbeam laser treatment. At first it looks like the scars were gone due to the swelling. But now, the scars are back. Should I change to CO2 fractional laser?
