Will saline and microneedling help my steroid atrophy? (Photos)

Serena86
I was injected incorrectly around 3 weeks ago. I had a hypertrophic scar (below the new dent) that was supposed to be injected, but for some reason the nurse also injected a small zit without asking me first. After I realized what she had done, I freaked out and she promised that no damage would occur since she 'only put a little'. I trusted her but clearly I was right to assume the worst. The clinic is providing a free saline injection. Will this + microneedling work? What are my other options?
