Microneedling does not cause skin sagging. Initial swelling may make it seem so, but this is not the case.BestDr Karamanoukian#RealSelf100 Member

Microneedling is based on controlled micro trauma to the dermis, which results in collagen formation and tightening of the skin, not sagging.  Intitially for the 1-2 days after treatment, your skin will appear reddish with some swelling.  Good luck.
