Fractional Laser for Large Pores on Nose?

June 13, 2009
Asked By:Ellen in San Diego in San Diego, CA

About ten years ago, I had a CO2 Laser peel (one pass) followed by Erbium Yag Laser, with very good results. About a year and a half later, I began developing some very large pores on the sides of my nose. Could the Fractional laser improve this condition, or would it likely make it worse?
