Most effective Laser Treatment for scarring and pores?
Hello. I am considering face laser treatment. I have big pores, acne scars and uneven skin tone.
I am not a severe case though. I don't like to have downtime like CO2. I heard about Fraxel Laser, Laser Genesis, Lux1540 and few more and really don't know what is the most effective for scarring and pores.
