Acne scars and discoloration on my cheeks - would dermabrasion be the best option? (Photos)

SFSorrow1968
I have really large areas of hyperpigmentation and deep scars on my cheeks. I had 3 treatments (about $2,000 wasted) of Morpheus8 and I don’t think it did anything (and possibly made my scars and discoloration worse). Would dermabrasion be the best option?
