I have PIE - Would CO2 laser help reduce acne or would peels and microneedling be more effective? (photos)

Bicker
Currently struggling with leftovers from my acne. My derm recommended be CO2 laser but here at realself many doctors say it is bad for people that have PIE. Therefore, I would like to ask if this is the right procedure or if peels or microneedling would be more effective for me.
