Dr. Joshua Fox answered

Specializes in Dermatology

Laser resurfacing: Laser resurfacing is most commonly performed for wrinkes, skin texture and laxity, acne scarring, large pores, etc. You really need to speak a dermatologist specializing in laser surgery so that you don't have to get endless treatments and to keep your total costs down.
