I have enlarged/scarred pores on my cheeks and on my nose. I also have a few very, very, shallow acne scars. I would love to find an alternative to laser treatments or microdermabrasion (I am prone to broken blood vessels) to help fix some of these issues. Would a series of chemical peels do the trick? Or something else?

Answer: Lasers and chemical peels do not reduce pore size.
Unfortunately, at best these treatments are neutral on pore size. Filling the skin with hyaluronic acid fillers supports the skin and reduced the apparent pore size. Also photofacial may help reduce the apparent size of skin pores.

Answer: Answer to RealSelf.com question about pores, redness
If you have not already, I would recommend seeing a dermatologist to get maximal control of your acne. The redness and large pores may improve with certain laser treatments. One option is the Cutera Lasergeneis laser. This is a non-ablative laser with no downtime that is actually pleasant. Check out the Cutera website and navigate to "Technologies." Then choose Lasergenesis and check out the clinical results. Deeper acne scarring is more difficult to treat, but may be amenable to Pearl Fusion laser therapy. Good luck.
