February 1, 2025
Asked By:Shockierockie in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

I’m a 27 year old female with a long history of acne. Gained about 90% control over it but dealing with scars and VERY large pores. And they are looking much worse as I’m creeping up to my 30s. Expression lines look worse too because of the texture, it makes me look much older. I want to have co2 done but open to suggestions of how to address pls + ty! :)
