I got a few different types of ance scars, enlarged pores and some wrinkles. I'm iffy about even seeking treatment some people are please, some aren't. I found a place near me that does Mixto co2 laser but doesn't do TCA cross. I've done some research and I think I may do the laser then TCA cross then another laser.

@Cowboy72Manual methods always win out over a device(subcision, tca cross, peels), that being said no device will fix anyone's problems with scarring, maybe 15-20% softening here, you need to be treated as a whole person not a Mixto treatment. This is what poor practitioners do they sell you a device and don't help you achieve your acne scar goals as it takes multi- things.

I would do multiple subcisions here 3-4 of them spaced out 3 months apart, you may need filler on some of your deeper rolling scars. RF needling is effective for some of your box cars (3-4 treatments). Mixto here in context would soften the scars but do nothing about the pits. You can add that on or any CO2 laser if you need another bump in improvement after rf needling, some don't even do laser at all and are happy with the sub and filler.

Finally you can do several tca peels once you raise up the texture.

Many treat over 3 years. Everything is optional. 3 months between all treatments to heal properly. Stop whenever your happy. There is not glass smooth skin solution but you will get some improvement. Filler and sub help a lot. It's all about how you heal.
