Microneedling and Laser Skin Tightening, good combo or too much together?

Question

Hi, it was suggested that I combine micro needling and laser skin tightening space about 2 weeks apart. After the initial set do microneedling once a month and two weeks post another laser skin tightening. Is this a good combo? Or is this too much collagen stimulation and it will contradict one another?

Yes, I often combine lasers with microneedling (and prp) and will do these procedures on the same day. Keep in mind, a combination approach is needed to get the most improvement with skin tightening for the face. I recommend J Plasma, lasers (Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant, Co2), microneedling/prp, ultherapy and rf treatments to get the best outcomes. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Without knowing at your skin status it is difficult to make the right recommendation. In my experience Microneedling and laser treatments can work very nicely together. Microneedling once a month for maintenance seams unnecessary to me. In my practice I recommend maintenance every three months.
