Microneedling and PRP 36 hours later. It appears I have scratches and after washing my face with gentle cleansers, I feel burning again. The redness was so bad the morning after, that I had to put 2 layers of full coverage makeup. Is my skin damaged and what should I do? Was the procedure properly done? This was done for anti aging benefits, I have porcelain skin. Please help!
