Asked By:aboudi in Los Angeles, CA

Hi doctors , I did a microneedling / chemical peel to my face on some day that I ended up in a Very bad Hyperpigmentation , so rightwway I Went to a dermatologist and gave me a cortisone cream to use for few day and a bleaching cream to start after the redness is gone that he thinks it will take care of the Hyperpigmentation . Does microneedling with PRP help ? Does truvada which is an hiv medication affects the result of prp ?
