Is it possible to get rid of pitting skin that has been caused 23 years ago? Would Fraxel laser or pen needing work? (Photo)

Asked By:Kaprof in Minneapolis, MN

What is the difference between fraxel laser and pen needling? I have extensive pitting of the skin between my eyebrows, from electrolysis several years ago. I was told to wait and it would eventually go away; however, it is still there 23 years later! They look like huge unattractive pores to me, and I cannot get them covered with makeup. The pictures are attached. Thank you so much for your time!
