What are my options for crater face/skin texture issues? (photo)

July 23, 2020
Asked By:Plucky7539 in New Haven, CT

I had IPL and noticed a change in texture afterward, so I am concerned about lasers. I already use Skinceuticals vitamin C and retinol. I follow a very healthy diet with ample omega 3’s and take a ton of high quality supplements to support skin. I protect my skin from the sun. I am slightly underweight but I had this issue before weight loss. I don’t love the way fillers look and I’m concerned about long term damage of collage production stimulated by injury. Do I have any options?
