S. Randolph Waldman, MD answers: Fat atrophy after IPL?

If fat atrophy has already occured, is there any way to reverse or correct the damage? After receiving 3 IPL treatments, my skin texture has become very leathery and my pores are permanently dilated. I've always had larger pores around my nose, but never on my lower cheeks. The leathery texture stops where the treatments ended.

It appears as if you have acne scarring.  This can be treated very successfully by injections of Juvederm or Restylane.  Additionally you might want to think about laser resurfacing.
