I am a 45 yo female experiencing large, textured pores and thick skin (genetic) in the middle of my forehead and nose (some on the inner cheeks near my nose). I've done microneedling in the past. I just had BBL to treat hyperpigmentation and redness due to Rosacea. The texture really bothers me and shows up in photos. IMO it almost looks like acne scars and gives me a "rough" look. What procedures would you suggest to reduce the look of the pores/texture in these areas?

Answer: Consider A Ssries Of Superficial Peels &/Or Series Of Professional Manual Microneedling Sessions For Improving Skin Texture You may wish to consider a series of superficial peels, which include high concentration glycolic or salicylic acid, Jessner's Solution, or low concentration TCA peels for treating this problem. Note: the fact that it is a series of peels, not just one or two treatments that would be required to improve the skin texture issue here. Likewise, although you mention having undergone microneedling, you do not mention whether it was professionally performed and, once again, whether you underwent a series of treatment sessions (which is typically required to achieve improvement with this kind of issue). You would be wise to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist. One word of "buyer beware" caution. In your search for treatment, you will no doubt be bombarded with marketing hype and social media buzz for this or that expensive, supposedly "next big thing" light or energy-based devices. So, it is worth noting that the hard science to back up these "bells and whistles" gizmos lags woefully behind the hype to promote them. So, be careful. Hope this helps and best of luck.
