Greetings from Peru, 

 Please give me some advice with my acne scars.

Im a 32 yo female, who suffers from acne since I was 12, now Im looking for treatment for my scars: mostly are ice pick and box scars. I have tried one time erbium fraxel from which I didnt see much improvement (it shrinked my pores for a while) . I did intervals of microneedling (3 times) and TCA cross 50% (I did it myself twice). From microneedling I saw very good improvement, but from TCA it made wider some icepick scars I had.

 Now I would like to try Intensif RF  or Scarlet RF (the only two available in my country unfortunately, I couldnt find Infini RF). what do you think? Could it help? Strenght/intensity of the machine?

Also Ive seen fraxel dual 1927 may help, what do you think? What strenght?

I hope someone can orientate me on this. 

I tried to send a message to Beautifulambition, but is not replying :(, I hope he sees this post someday, he gives very good advice too.

Your scars are very minimal. It just looks like enlarged pores. I wouldn't do any cross since it would likely make it worse. Maybe a light peel.

They're enlarged pores from Acne. I suffer from something similar. Low strength TCA peel can help you out. TCA 50% is too much. RF microneedling might help but I'm not sure

RF won't do anything for ice pick. It can help with the box cars though.
