Saline Injections for Steroid Atrophy

Hello - I have fat loss/atrophy in face after steroid on face. A doctor in a forum recommended a series of 6-8 weekly saline injections to lift the steroid crystals so that my body can reabsorb it. She is in Virginia while I'm in Florida. I was wondering if anyone has performed this? You can find it by googling "Atrophy saline injections" but below is a link to one case. All 10 of the doctors I found online who have performed it are in different states, and it's not realistic for me to travel since I would have to get them weekly.
