Laser Resurfacing from Damage Done by Chemical Peel?

Hi,I'm a 27 yr old Hispanic/Asian female that alway had beautiful skin for the exception of some acne/mild scaring. I had a bad reaction to the vitalize peel back in April. Now two months later, I have hyperpigmentation,LARGE pores,rough texture,and overall windblown/aged skin in such a short period of time.I think this is permanent damage to my sensitive skin that was once a milky complexion. I have an appointment with a respected NYC laser specialist soon, can anything be done to correct this?
