Superficial scars and textural issues.

You have icepicks, boxcars and textural damage. Had similar quantity and location, Dermabrasion over 10 years ago helped me 75-85% but left me basically with the same quantity just super shallow and blended if that makes sense. Nowadays doctors recommend laser but it seems the best results come from things like 3 different things from reading the board, rather than just laser alone.

Procedures that improve do so but the scars still exist, they are just raised by improving or healing the dermis or lower epidermis I guess. I'm finding this out because if you do or experience anything negative after improvement, the scars will be more pronounced again. That to me showed me, oh yeah they always exist.

It looks superficial, somewhat, meaning it's mostly epidermis. Although you have boxcars or more rectangular that I did not have. You can definitely improve these without a doubt. Being ethnic though, you run higher risks I've read.

i think phenol peel by dr rullan would work well for you since you don't really have any fat loss.

Doesn™t look that deep if I were u since you are ethnic I would go full ablative erbium laser on the cheeks and evaluate after 3 to 6 months, this would soften all the hard edges or go with spot full ablative laser on the edges of the scars. If u have money you can also go for phenol chemobrasion. Please search all possible side effects.
