How to go about treating my ice pick scars via a more aggressive approach? (Photos)

tvnsilk
I am a 24-year old female. I use to have bad cystic acne and now I suffer from deep pitted scars and enlarged pores. I've tried microneedling, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and IPL photo treatments for months at a time but nothing helps. I'm now looking into a more aggressive approach! Fraxel? Surgery?
