Best age for scars treatment

Well, I have what I think are moderate-to-severe acne scars, with rolling, boxcar, ice pick, and enlarged pore types, the oldest scars being 5-6 years old, and I was wondering at what age it would be too late to treat my scars; that is, at what age it wouldn't be possible to get good results. I know it's kind of hard to tell how bad my scars are without any pictures (which I'll be posting soon), but I guess I could get an estimate. I want to know this because I can't really treat my scars until I get a job, which isn't happening and won't probably happen until 2019 (impossibility due to personal matters, college, etc.). I'm 20 years old, if that's of any use.

Thank you all, and sorry for probable infraction of forum rules and grammar/spelling mistakes, English is not my first language.

@asgayasfoucaultAny age is ok to treat scars, of course the younger they are the easier they are to fix. But it sounds like you need to get other things in order like getting a job and personal matters. Those take priority. You can buy a cheap dermastamp or micro needling roller which is cost. effective. I don't know where you live but get Isotrex, tretinorin, retin a, retinoid from your Dr. and this will help while you wait for other treatments. It's a cream you apply for cell turnover.
