Should I do fully-ablative CO2 laser, or is there a better option for me? (Photo)

stephlainus
26 and battled with acne for 10 years. As you can see I have alot of scarring and large pores. I’ve had 2 rounds of Infini RF with PRP, canceled my last session because the track marks freaked me out. I want to do co2 fully-ablative laser but I’m worried about the fat loss in the face that I always hear. Ive also heard enlarged pores can be a problem after co2. Is the scar improvement worth it? I would be so upset if my skin didn’t improve and I was left with sunken in cheeks and large pores.
