Well regardless, you are going to have to wait a year at the minimum before pursuing any treatments since you only recently completed Accutane.  I've done accutane myself, and while it completely cured my severe acne, it has definitely affected my healing abilities following several procedures.

Which laser does this derm use?  Remember that derms are running a business, and oftentimes recommend the laser they have in their office.  They're trying to recoup the cost of a laser which is easily more than $100K.  There are folks here who have done much more aggressive treatments and are lucky if they got anything near 50% improvement, which makes your derm's claim a little far fetched.

Dude, I'd pay good money to have your skin.  Seriously, it's not even remotely bad.  Your doctor gave you good advice, you definitely do not need subcision.  Lasers on Asian skin can have side effects, mainly hyperpigmentation.  Nothing substitutes doing thorough research, especially when it comes to your face.  If after you weigh the risks and are prepared for some down time, then maybe you can pursue some treatment.  

ALWAYS do a spot test on an inconspicuous area like near your ear / sideburns to see how your skin will react to the lasers.  A lot of people on here have come out looking worse after doing a procedure, so tread lightly.

Really sorry that this is happening to you.  If it's not too much of a stretch financially, I would personally get some type of filler (Juvederm, Restylane, take your pick) injected.  The fact that you state that they are tethered may complicate things, but a filler may give you some temporary relief so that you can go on with your life.  

I would not do anything radical like an excision because it seems like such a large area in a high tension zone.  

Yep, if I've learned anything, it's to ALWAYS insist on test spots and doing a smaller, inconspicuous area first if heaven forbid something goes very wrong.  The procedure itself may be sound, but it comes down a lot to personal physiology.  How your body heals is a huge factor in how things turn out.  

It's hard to tell in that picture if it's just hyperpigmentation or if there are actual indentations.  That doctor clearly used it on scars that are way too wide.  They must be pin prick sized scars that are deep.  

When I had my first and only session so far, the doctor hit every single ice pick on my face, which is to say ALOT.   It looked pretty horrific.  If I attempted this again, I would only do my worst scars, or specific areas.  The recovery is pretty tough.

This one woman had it one by a doctor and still came out with alarming results.  The tca cross-ed areas look widened, and deepened.  I believe it can work, but can also be unpredictable for others.  I had one session of TCA Cross and I was initially frightened by the aftermath.  Just the sheer number of deep red, widened, and deeper ice pick scars on my face horrified me.  I was sure something had gone horribly wrong. Ultimately though, I didn't see lasting damage or results, which I consider a good thing.  Losing a couple hundred bucks is a lot better than coming out worse.  

The smart thing to do would be only test treat some inconspicuous scars and see how they heal.  Tread lightly and don't go in with the mindset of doing everything at once.
