Best Treatment for All Types of Scars?

Hi, I'm a 30-year old from the Philippines. I am really eager to know what is the best treatment for all types of scars?

I had 2 TCA Cross Method treatment but haven't seen any improvement so I decided to stop. I want to try dermaroller as well but afraid it will not work as well.

I would really like my scars to be gone forever. By the way, I have all kinds of scar, rolling, ice pick and boxcars some are deep some are not that visible. Hope you could give me advice, it'll be greatly appreciated.
