Subcision and Fraxel for Boxcar Scars? (photo)

TampaFL
I plan on receiving Fraxel but was interested in receiving subcision before hand in hopes that both combined would give a better result. Would subcision be recommended for my scars. I feel that it would definitely help on my right cheek especially towards the middle and outer side. On my left side would it help the boxcar scar on the outside or the line on the inside at all? I understand that there is no such thing as 100% improvement but would it be possible to look like the third picture?
