What is the Best Treatment to Repair Texture and Appearance of Skin After Scarring After Laser Resurfacing Treatments?

I had a full face laser resurfacing done 9 months ago & plastic surgeon went deep on my cheeks. I had 2 weeks of down time & cheeks were pink for 3 months. 3 months after, I had 2 laser peels. Tried to get money back before the last treatment, but the Dr.'s office urged me to finish treatments. Now 6 months since the last laser, my skin has a shiny texture in places where it looks like it is trying to heal over, dots, enlarged pores and skin is textured & almost "creepy". What is best treatment to correct?
