That is a great question. Yes, the undereye area can be treated safely with microneedling in experienced hands. The tissue there is more sensitive so a gentler approach is often necessary. It is safe to do microneedling under the eye and around the eye area for fine lines, wrinkles and scars. With our patented growth factor serum from Omnibioceutical Innovations, we have been using this for nearly 10 years and have never had any adverse effects. We can also target improved texture, pigments, puffiness, discoloration, smoothness as well as the collagen stimulation from the needles. Best of luck!

Thank you for your pictures and your questions. What an injury but it looks like you are healing well. The scars are likely to feel hard in some places as they heal so this is normal. I wish I could micro needle you today with my technique and my products because I know it will be effective. I would definitely not do this at home and seek out only Omnibioceutical Innovations professional growth factor to use with the microneedling procedure. I have been using this serum for many years and have treated many traumatic injuries. This product is the only one on the market with the patents and the purity you need. In over 1000 treatments, we have never had a non responder! There are so many microneedling procedures out there, but they are not the same. Please look for a practice in your area that only uses this product for microneedling. Best of luck

Sincerely,

Hello and thank you for this question. The best microneedling procedures provide an incredible human skin cell growth factor serum as part of the procedure and my treatments also provide a take home serum that lasts up to a couple months for continuing the repair process and adding back great texture, glow and conditioning of the skin. It does not sound like you had your microneedling with that type of product. I have been needling for many years with an amazing serum that is by a company called Omnibioceutical Innovations in Phoenix, AZ. Their serum is by far the best microneedling accompaniment you can get. Many of my acne patients are 30-40% better in the first day after the procedure. We have done well over 1000 microneedling procedures and everyone responds!

Best of luck

Thank you for this question. Yes, microneedling (also called collagen induction therapy) is a direct stimulator of collagen and elastin by the microscopic trauma of the needles making small channels in the skin. The issue is that all microneedling is not the same. The needles will stimulate collagen and that takes up to several months to see best results for scars, wrinkles or anything that needs plumping. I also use a human skin cell growth factor serum (very similar to PRP but in many ways better) to stimulate immediate improvement in the texture, softness, glow etc. Many microneedlings use hydrating serum like hyaluronic acids or peptides but many use no serum at all and nothing compares to the purity of the serum I have now been using for many years. In over 1000 treatments, we have never had anyone not respond! Please seek out the best possible procedure to get your best result. Good luck

Sincerely,

Hi there and thank you so much for your question. I am concerned about anyone who vapes and does cosmetic procedures because of the significant impairment to your immune system and vascular system with nicotine. While it does not interfere with the procedure itself, the effects of nicotine on the skin are well known. the blood vessels constrict, release toxins and infection risk is higher because of the negative effects on your immune system. There are many unknown toxic chemicals in vape fumes because the products are not regulated and some sources have shown that vape smoke may actually be more dangerous than regular smoking for it's toxicity. Since smoking and pulmonary disease have been my area of expertise for many years, I hope this is helpful and encouraging to you for the future. I wish you the best in your healthy journey!

Sincerely,

Dr. Schneider
