What can I do to correct scars and stretched pores from picking? Now on Accutane, will laser or microneedling help? (photo)

Hello, thank you very much for your time! I've always struggled with some scarring from picking, but since pregnancy my skin has looked especially terrible. I now have many scars and many stretched out looking pores, as well as a bumpy texture and fine lines. The worst area is the middle of my cheeks as shown in the picture. I am taking Accutane currently and plan to get cheek fillers. In addition to these, once done Accutane, can any lasers/microneedling help? Also, can this be improved?
