have you seen a derm who is experienced in laser treatments? you should go for a consult....
if money is a problem then go to the owndoc.com site, there is a story and picture of scars similar to you, and the fellow there dermarolled for close to a year, and saw great improvement.....I'm a derma stamp person myself, slow and steady improvement and CHEAP
and you aren't ugly, there is a lot more to you than the scars- chin up, get a plan to improve them and get out there a live- looks like you beat the active acne, there is a victory there to be celebrated!
No, perfection is not yet possible. Anyone who goes into this scar revision business has to understand that there are limitations to what can be achieved. There has been cases of significant improvement posted on this forum though.
One laser sessions is usually never going to give you much improvement. All the people who've had significant improvement have done many sessions over a long period of time. I can't see the rest of your skin, but if your scarring is only localized to that area on your left temple, I would not characterize it as being "severe." I'd say it's probably moderate, though pictures don't always fully capture reality. I think subcision and suction, and possibly several laser sessions will help. With your dark skin, lasers will almost certainly cause hyperpigmentation, but that almost always resolves over time. Some people have also had success with dermstamping / needling, although that is a very slow process before you see improvement.
