Would fractional CO2 laser offer any improvement on ice pick scars on my nose? No physicians do TCA cross in my region (Photo)

I have had two ice pick scars excised on the bridge of my nose which actually created bigger scars, and I have also completed 6 sessions of microneedling with Rejuvapen with little results. The only other option in my area is fractional co2 laser (specifically CO2RE laser). Would this offer any improvement? There seems to be many differing opinions about the efficacy of these lasers in this type of scarring. Thanks for any and all help!
