32-yo F. Hx: Accutane x 3 with rolling scars remaining. Had an aggressive CO2 laser done 3 years ago for texture, spots, fine lines. Standard healing during the inflammatory phase; no major issues for the first 6 months or so. Now, I'm left with awful texture, hypopigmented grid marks (see photos), and redness. I've done 3 sessions of microneedling to try to improve the grids. Daily regimen includes tret, Vitamin C, and lots of sunscreen. What are my options, if any? :(
