Acne Scarring multiple treatments tried but have not worked

Deep fx can improve your scars over time. 7 or so days is not enough time. Sometimes results take up to a year or more to have a noticeable affect. This should improve your scars. I would suggest something to work the deeper tissues as well. Subcision is one option and other filling modalities can work wonders on your scars. TCA Cross treatment is one that can help ice pick scars as well. see video

Fractional resurfacing takes time to show results.

I understand your frustration after having gone through quite some treatments. But, the fact is, fractional resurfacing does give some reasonable results - so you will have to wait it out with this one. And the redness does take time to go down, so please stick to your sunscreen and skin care regimen. Do post/send pictures, so that I can give you more meaningful inputs! Good luck.
