Lasers Doesn't Work on my Large Nose Pores? (photo)

What would you recommend for these large pores on my nose? I tried co2 laser but it hasnt improved it :(. What would you suggest? I got them after getting bad cystic acne on my nose that finally went away but left me with these large holes. I appreciate your help. Thanks!

"Ice Pick" Acne scar treatment

This is an acne scar. It can be treated with 100% Trichloroacetic Acid applied with a toothpick, (by a medical professional ONLY), to convert it to a more shallow scar that can be treated with dermabrasion or laser resurfacing. A dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon that is familiar with this technique can do this for you. I hope this information is helpful Jenny. Best Regards, doctordeb.co

A punch biopsy may be considered for the scar on the tip of your nose.

The scar appears to be an "ice-pick" scar, and these do not respond well to lasers or fillers. A reputable cosmetic dermatologist may recommend excision of the scar with a punch biopsy and a suture. You should consult several reputable specialists to see what might be best for you. Hope this helps you. Dr. Joseph
