Despite going to a top board certified professional, I am 100% certain that the fraxel laser caused this to my skin. These are the micro columns drilled by the laser that did not close up. Doc used high setting/multiple passes. No idea why this happened but I want to fix this. Peels? Microneedling? Or any product? I also have the crepey skin mainly when I smile. BTW , my skin is red due to recent retinol use.
