PRP injection for laser/thermal damage?

northeastcitygirl
I have had numerous Excel V treatments in the same spot for broken capillaries. Unfortunately, the last treatment 3 months ago left me with an area that feels like scar tissue (and associated swelling) and is not healing. Would PRP injections help? Could we instead just puncture the skin with needles and apply the PRP on top? I'm afraid of additional swelling so trying to be prudent with my approach.
