Can 2.0 derma stamp have ruined my skin?

Question

I recently had derma stamp 2.0 done for scarred pores on my cheeks, its been nearly 2 months now and my skin looks worse than it did before, i have uneven skin texture and uneveness. Doc says it will get better and can take time, but iam not convinced. It should be showing signs of improvement by now. Can this lenght needle damage skin? Iam breast feeding too i dont know if that makes a difference. Any advice would be appreciated.

Microneedling is a safe treatment procedure that is especiallyeffective if done by capable hands. Aside from the length of the needle, thesanitation of the entire procedure, and the serums used to treat scars, yourdoctor’s expertise will also come into play. If doneproperly, it can yield great results in reducing scars as well as rejuvenatingthe skin. 
Typically, the procedure will involve a roller orelectrical device  with fine needles ofappropriate length for your scar situation as well as some topical treatmentinvolving serums to attain great results. Then, your doctor will advise amicroneedling treatment series, usually 4 to 6 weeks apart. You will alsoadvise to wait for a few months to experience the full effect of yourmicroneedling treatment procedure. 
As for your case, you may want to ask for a secondopinion from a board certified doctor to evaluate your situation. Hope I wasable to help out!

The results of most procedures are significantly influenced by the expertise of the person doing the treatment. In the right hands, medical micro-needling is an excellent procedure for improving the appearance of acne scars. In my office we use the ProCell Therapies micro-needling machine for a more even pattern of needle penetration in the skin. We also apply growth factor serums derived from human stem cells to further enhance the results. For the best results it typically takes a series of treatments, each one month apart, and then a waiting time of several months for the full effect.
