Can microneedling be used to also treat hyperpigmentation?

brad_86
I usually do vi peel and they are great! But I have large pores, acne scars, and orange peel skin (lots of fine tiny bumps) and I think microneedling with PRP would help, but I also have a lot of sun damage and a bit of a tan and even a bruise or two or hyperpigmentation from a too strong peel that hasn't faded in over three years, so are there things we can do to improve how microneedling lightens any discolorations ? thanks for any replies
