Can laser repair holes in skin and enlarged pores after microneedling, or is it too risky and likely to worsen this condition?

June 6, 2019
Asked By:BeautyBluez

I had smooth skin and after microneedling ended up with holes and enlarged pores, the nose and chin bother me the most. Some people have mentioned various resurfacing lasers that could help, but being as though the technology sounds similar—creating damage so that the skin will heal itself—are lasers likely to make my skin worse? For whatever reason my skin did not properly repair itself after microneedling and I am worried this same thing will occur after laser.
