Vertical striations/scratches after microneedling. How can I fix this? (Photo)

mattoc59
I had microneedling with PRP done about 3 months ago and my skin hasn't been the same since. I now have vertical striations/scratch like lines running vertically down my forehead. The lines run horizontal on my cheeks and under eyes. I was anticipating great results and now my skin looks worse than ever. Is there anything that can be done to fix this?
