Which laser for very enlarged pores/acne scarring? (Photo)

ebean0211Dec 4, 2023
Hello, I am a 49-year-old female who has had several lasers in the past including Erbium, Picosure, IPL, one round of CO2, several treatments of microneedling (a couple with PRP) and a few chemical peels in the span of 6 years. All of this was to treat my extremely enlarged pores and acne scarring and texture problems. None of these made a difference. After dealing with depression from it, I sought out other opinions. One says Fraxel and one says Halo? Any thoughts/advice would be appreciated.

Fraxel laser would be an excellent option for all of the conditions you mention, and based on your photos you would be a candidate.
