How long until I see improvement for indented acne scar from deep Microneedling PRP and TCA Cross? (Photos)

Asked By:Gregarious5905 in Pasadena, CA

Any treatment suggestions? 4 months ago I got a new acne scar under my nose. I went to a dermatologist and he performed 3 sessions of TCA Cross and deep Microneedling with PRP on me. He did this once a month for 3 months. It's been 3 weeks post the final treatments and so far I haven't seen major improvements yet. How long will I need to wait to see some improvement and how long will I need to wait to see the final result of my treatments? What other treatments do you suggest to lessen the appearance of this scar? Thanks.
