Damage from Pearl Laser, How Do I Repair It?

I had pearl laser a year ago. Which they also fractionated. I am severly scared by the fraxel part on my cheeks. Very large area.You can actually see where it has melted the skin,with not only wholes from the laser, but whirl marks. I have had 19 dermabrasions done..and it seems the deeper we get on the skin, the worse the melting looks. It looks horrible.
