I have had two microneedling RF sessions spaced 6 weeks apart. My last second session was done a little more than 3mo than ago. My face was in better condition than it is now! I have grid/track marks on my cheeks and my skin texture is that of an orange peel. I’m so defeated. I have spoken to my provider and all they have told me is to use a stronger retinol and that it may take up to 6 months to fullly heal. I’m so disappointed please help. How can I fix this?
