Asked By:thuynguyen1981 in California, CA

Dear Doctors. I just did microneedling by myself and I’m concerned about the bruises on my face. I have a feeling that these bruises Will later on leave the spots darker. I think I did a little more aggressive on those area ( which has hyperpigmentation). Will those bruises make the hyperpigmentation get darker? Should I use Retin-A to help lighten them? Those pictures taken two days after the treatment. Thank you for your time!
