As said previously, there is not one simple answer to your question. My first recommendation would be to find a highly regarded plastic surgery office or dermatologist office that offers skin care services. Any licensed associate can assist you with your specific concerns. Many times it is a combination of treatments and products that help to maintain and/or enhance the skin.
We have found that in our practice, depending on patient compliance, Obagi yields wonderful results to aging skin, whether advaced or not. Obagi offers a variety of products within their line to assist all skin types and all ages and concerns. In addition to great medical grade skin care, Micro-dermabrasion is a wonderful non-invasive option to assist in fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, pore size and so much more. Remember you only get 1 SKIN in life, so take the best care while you can!

I would highly recommend the Refirme treatment performed by a med spa using the Syneron system. This IPL treatment uses light and RF energy to build and tighten the collagen in your facial skin and restore more of the youthful appearance that you want.

There is not one simple answer to your question. If pore size and skin texture is an issue, then you should look for a laser that has the ability to generate new collagen - a laser resurfacing tool. It does not have to be a laser resurfacing procedure that results in downtime, but something that causes a thermal injury to the skin and gets it to produce new collagen. For (no downtime) laser resurfacing, we use the Aramis, Pulsed Dye or Q-switched Nd:Yg lasers.

For uneven pigment, your best bet would be q-switched lasers. This type of laser is used primarily for sun spots, birthmarks, freckles and other types of uneven pigmentation of the skin. These lasers will do the trick to make sure your skin tone is even.
