I had a TCA peeling done which burned my face leaving pigmentations then I was suggested to do micro needling to fix it and it ruined my skin completely. Now I have pigmentation and tiny dots/scars all over my face. You can see the dots lined up, its awful. The texture is really really ugly, I think it aged my skin 10 years more, please I am in despair. I spent a lot of money and now I am terrified that I will not be able to fix it! I added pictures of my skin before/after the damage with and with no makeup!
