Permanent Treatment for Scarred Pores from Face Picking?

I'm 17, have had mild acne with no scarring. Unfortunately I'm a compulsive face picker and I used to pick on my blackheads, which left hundreds of ugly holes on my nose and my cheeks. They are different in size and I'm guessing they are scarred/enlarged pores, right?

Now I'm really depressed because I've heard that there's no way to get rid of them (the treatments give temporary results). I'm wondering if there is some kind of laser treatment or surgery that would help me get rid of them for good!
