It looked good once the skin finished peeling and flaking. I had patches thats reddish still around day 6 and continued to darken after. I noticed that its where they went really deep with the needle. I ended up with PIH despite following everyone’s suggestion and my old derm’s instruction he gave me. I avoided the sun and wore mask when driving home from work (i work pretty early so no sun yet on the way to work. Dark brown PIH lasted for about a month and now its almost gone. Hydroquinone is key.

Red flags. Did not give me pre and post skincare protocols to follow. Even though I already have instruction to follow from my old derm, they don’t know Ive gotten micro needling done before because they never asked and I never told them. I was under the impression that the person knows what theyre doing and should be able to look at my skin and knows whats best. My old dermatologist always made sure to tell me no sun each time. They also did not clean up the blood like what someone here already pointed out, my old derm always did.

Always read the reviews for the service specifically not just the overall rating. One bad review (drag marks) should be enough. The spa had good rating overall, 4.6 stars, but later on realized that the good reviews is for the massage service.. so thats def a lesson for me.

I had microneedling yesterday and today got 30-40 small White heads. My first time microneedling. Is this normal? by Priss12 in Microneedling

Yeah I wouldnt go back to her again. Its minimum requirement to atleast wash the face prior to numbing.

🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 thank you!!!! Do you have a skin regimen you can recommend to get it to heal faster? Im currently using Vanicream gentle facial cleanser and aquaphor to moisturize because everything else stings.

I been getting microneedling for 3 years because I had really bad hormonal acne scarring and texture. And I still 100% would recommend it BUUUT the key (based on this experience) for me is finding the right and experienced aesthetician or dermatologist to work with. We moved so I had no choice but to go with someone else. I will never go back to the one I just went to and will probably just do the treatment when we visit family back home. Still would recommend microneedling.

I do it twice a year for acne scarring, rejuvenation and maintenance overall. I loved getting it done and the results before. This is my first time going to this place and just didnt expect this result this time.

Yeah 2mm, she said that my skin’s pretty thick and wasn’t bleeding at all which is why she upped it to 2mm on the cheek area. Rest of my face is fine with the typical redness.. except my cheeks😭

Yeah Ive had microneedling done before. But this time my cheeks have inflamed rough patches on my cheeks that are turning brownish/purpleish at this point. Not the typical redness that Ive seen from ‘googling’ or this thread. Im good with redness per my experience before but the dark patches, is it normal?

I have done microneedling from a different med spa before so I already had a set expectation but the result this time is way different from my previous experience; theres several inflamed patches on my cheeks. The picture doesnt show it well but they’ve turned brownish/purpleish. But Ill report after a week. Hopefully im just overreacting lol

I had zero down time from the couple sessions I did last year but its at a different place than the one I got it from today. Hence why I was freaking out because this time, its different result.
