Does the combination of subcision and HA fillers give a permanent improvement in atrophic/rolling acne scars?

Bellebaby10
I am reading a bunch of different reviews, articles and opinions. I have a mix of rolling and atrophic scars and I have gotten mixed answers. I have read that HA fillers and prp act as buffers that allow the scar to heal properly after a series of subcision treatments. Is this true, and if so, does this mean that the results of this combination are permanent? I am considering scar treatment but I don't want to do a treatment that is not going to give good improvement.
