What next when fractional CO2 laser failed to deliver results for acne scars? (photos)

sioe_ling
I have undergone 5 fractional CO2 laser procedures so far with each requiring 5-6 days downtime recovery period. Lo and behold I am only able to witness a 10 percent improvement as opposed to the 80 percent promised by my doctor. My pitted scarrings are still very very visible and I need advice on what to turn to next if i do not wish to continue with temporary fillers. I am Asian and prone to hyperpigmentation with a mixture of ice pick and rolling scars.
