Asked By:Kind852494 in Atlanta, Georgia

Hello! About 3 years ago I fell off my bed and had a nasty gash underneath my eyebrow. I had to get stitches which resulted in an indented scar. Ive done about 3 microneedling treatments and more than several PRX treatments to try to encourage collagen to the area but so still just hate the way It looks. Is there anything I can do to lessen the harshness of the line?
