Why is there a 1mm microneedling depth regulation for estheticians?

June 5, 2018
Asked By:mcari1977 in Albuquerque, NM

I have been told that estheticians performing microneedling can only go 1mm in depth per their license regulation. I want to know why out of curiosity since most clients with bad acne scarring could benefit from a higher depth than 1mm.
