Asked By:Skin repair needed in Richmond, VA

I have numerous problems due to co2 albative procedure from 4 years ago. Most distressing are the pock marks, acne like depressions, poor skin laxity, dull, waxy complexion, hypopigmentation as well as hyperpigmention. I am considering PRP but want to know potential side effects. I am super sensitive to many treatments now, masks, peels are especially problematic. I only had mild lines around my mouth prior to co 2 treatment and hardly noticeable.
