Would alternating between TCA Peel and Microneedling biweekly be a good way to treat my acne scars? (photos)

I had a 25% TCA Peel and fully healed around day 5/6. I am planning on repeating this procedure (with a doctor as before). However I would like to get microneedling with Stem Cells two weeks after. This will be followed by another TCA Peel two weeks after the microneedling. So it would be: TCA Peel (wait 2 weeks), Microneedling w/ stem cells (wait 2 weeks), TCA Peel. This is to treat acne scars. Is this a good strategy? I heal very fast.
