Scar treatment: will TCA CROSS or microneedling help? Are these ice-pick scars or mostly large pores? Other suggestions? (Photo)

I treated my active acne with tretinoin 0.5%, but I'm left with these scars. I don't have any active acne at the moment and no blackheads. The scars improved a bit with the use of tretinoin, but they don't soften any further. I'd like to know if a TCA cross peel or microneedling is suitable for my type of scars. As I'm a first time TCA user I'd like to ask what percentage TCA best for this method on my scars? I won't be going for a full TCA-peel. Or will microneedling be better? What length?
