Received secret RF twice, the second time left me with pin/grid marks on my right cheek bone five months later. What now?

I did do one round of IPL but it really didn’t help anything in that area. I got a second opinion and that doctor said to give it a year, and that scar creams or more IPL might lighten it. I’m going back to see the original dermatologist to see what she suggests this week. Also I’m slightly fair skinned and it’s very sensitive, which I do tell all practitioners, but I seem to keep having bad side effects from different noninvasive procedures. But I’d really rather not age naturally, suggestions?

Compared to a regular microneedling, Secret RF microneedling is a more superior treatment. It amplifies the process of skin rejuvenation at the surface and cellular level. Heat created by the added RF energy also works to constrict underlying skin layers, to further smooth out even the most...
