Will Laser Resurfacing Help to Minimize Open/enlarged Pores?

I am a 25 year old male and i am fair skinned. Teenage acne has left some mild scarring but oil production has been a significant issue leading to significant enlargement of the pores to my cheeks nose and forehead. What improvement would be realistically possible following such treatment?

Pore size reduction

Pore size may be reduced with numerous lasers that are available.  Erbium lasers can sometimes do it by performing microlaser peels as well as Thermascan lasers which can also help acne scarring by remodeling collagen under the surface.

Minimize pores

Some patients see improvement with laser resurfacing and some don't. Fraxel Restore has provided some improvement for my patients but I can't guarantee the results.
