Thank you for this. I have rosacea and sensitive skin. Years ago, I had micro needling done once and it was a nightmare for me. My skin was peeling off and raw and painful for several weeks. I assumed this meant the procedure was not effective or not for me. Now reading the benefits of micro needling for fine lines and texture- im considering trying it again and this makes me feel like maybe my response wasn’t all that out of the norm as my technician believed it to be… dunno

I had the same experience with RF microneedling. I had three sessions. I didn't find the procedure too painful, neither the days after. But then all the super dry spots and acne. I've been on oral isotretinoin a while ago so getting the acne again was horrible. Also my skin now reacts way worse to even salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. I had to put Elidel on my face to get it to calm down from all the dryness and reactions. I don't think I'd do it again. Still trying to get the acne under control again.

​@@taysonkhaHello, Tayson. Thank you for warning people about what can happen with isotretinoin, especially if you get a micro needling session. I've heard that even having waxing sessions while using that medication can cause violent,painful reactions. Even more shocking was to find out that acne can come back after using isotretinoin !! Didn't know that could happen.

I have rosacea and the first time I did it I had a horrible reaction. At the time my face was inflamed pretty bad and rosacea was active. I got it done a week ago and decided to give it a go because my rosacea has been less inflamed lately. My skin was red a little after procedure and the next day woke up like nothing happened

So glad you addressed this. 6 months is realistic. Skincare is not magic and not an overnight process.

@@myglamour121 Sure. I have discoid lupus which means I have scarring across my entire face. Discoid lesions are very visible and I’ve had the scars since I was 5 (now almost 40). After 4 sessions of microneedling my doctor and I saw visible improvement. We did evo pen +trx acid over the discoid lesions. On the rest of the face just normal microneedling. There was an improvement in both texture of my skin overall and a blurring/fading effect where the outline of the scar meets my skin. I do not have any significant acne scars but because my skin is prone to hyperpigmentation, we opted to avoid any device that produces heat. Risk is not worth it, per my doctor.

I used hyaluronic serum, aloe Vera, and let it absorb after cleansing. Then go in! I might Spritz on a lil Rose water with glycerin.

So how long in between would you get micro needling for fine lines? Ps love your content

Thank you for being so honest ❤❤

Yep. I get petechiae that lasts for 3 or 4 days then peeling. i have some scars and that post treatment puffiness does fill it all in for a bit, it takes a while to see any changes. But your skin feels great after the peeling! Just hard to schedule it with not wanting to be seen for several days.

Can you talk about PRP?

I love ur eye shadow, brand and shade plzzzzzz!!!❤❤❤

Microneedling has been a great benefit for my skin type re texture and scarring. But I don’t do it more than every 6-8 weeks because it’s at a deeper depth for scarring. It is a huge improvement, looks so much better, but I’m talking over 2 years+ with about 6/7 treatments a year! You will see gradual improvements from the beginning, plus in between times when some scars will look slightly wider but shallower, but you need patience….otherwise save up for an ablative laser in the hands of a seasoned professional of course :)

@pillowtalkderm, can you talk about the different kinds of microneedling and uses/pros/cons of each?

I have rosacea and micro needling with PrP is the only thing that I’ve seen great results from. You have to have a good esthetician assist the doctor or nurse and after care is important. Also, lots of hydration is important

Phewf..i thought this was goinf to end w "dont bother" good to know about 6 months!

Is it fair to say that the aftercare can make or break your results?

I agree and thank you Dr👍👍👍👍🥰🥰
