I have uneven skin texture on my cheeks that looks sunken. Can this be improved with a laser?
2026.11.09 16:48
Hello. I am inquiring about laser treatment because the skin texture on my cheeks seems uneven.
Small irregularities on the surface of my skin tend to be more noticeable when viewed from the side or in light than when viewed from the front. When I took a close-up photo, I noticed some areas that looked slightly indented here and there, so I am wondering if this is simply due to enlarged pores or if it is a shallow scar from past acne.
I have heard that lasers like Fraxel or PicoFraxel are used to treat acne scars. Can I expect effective results even in cases like the photo, where there are several relatively small bumps? I would also like to know if the appropriate laser varies depending on the depth and shape of the scar.
I am also curious about how smooth the skin surface can become with laser treatment. I understand that achieving completely flat skin is difficult, but I would like to inquire if improvement is possible to reduce noticeable unevenness.
As I work full-time, the recovery period after the procedure is also a significant factor for me. I would like to know how long redness, peeling, and scabbing last, and if there are lasers available that interfere minimally with daily life. Please also provide information on the recommended number of treatments and their intervals.

What kind of care should I start with for skin prone to severe redness during the change of seasons?[6]
CommentsIt seems like my skin gets more sensitive and my redness gets worse whenever the seasons change. ㅠㅠ Especially when there's a big temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, my face really flushes out, you know? lol At times like this, instead of applying all sorts of products, I think it's better to minimize irritation and focus on moisturizing first.210026.11.09 - 02CommentsIt must be really difficult to decide which laser to choose when you have both melasma and blemishes. Since Pico Toning and Clarity each have different characteristics, I think it would be best to check the type of pigmentation first. Also, I heard that melasma can get darker if irritated, so I really need to make a careful decision.250026.11.09
- 03CommentsI think it would be good to get consistent treatments with the Pico Toning laser. They say the difference is significant after about 10 sessions!280026.11.09
- 01CommentsI think it would be less of a burden if I could start with a small scope. That is a good question.850026.11.04
- 02CommentsIt must be very stressful for you that enlarged pores and scars are difficult to cover up even with makeup. I am also looking into laser treatments, and I’ve heard that combining PicoFraxel or Subcision is very effective.350026.11.09
