I had 2 micro needling sessions with PRP. I now have microtears all over my face. How can I treat these? Unfortunately I am not candidate for Laser.I tried 18% TCA at home with zero improvement. Will higher strength of TCA or other peel help? I am also starting with low strength Retin A. Appreciate any expert advice and opinion. I am also considering subcision for other scars on my face and hoping that will release these microtears as well. Am I being too hopeful? Thanks.
