Can microneedling done incorrectly cause loss of volume, hollowing, and sagging?

November 29, 2022
Asked By:shadmaryam in Bethesda, Maryland

I had a micro needling procedure with a nurse practitioner. It was regular micro needling not with radio frequency. During the procedure there were some broken capillaries that bruised underneath my eye area. Within the first week after the treatment I noticed that my under eye area looked significantly worse it looked more aged, hollow, loss of volume, saggy and wrinkly. Can this happen if the micro needling was done improperly?

Should I try microneedling again after previous reaction (drastic swelling)?
Carrie L. Morris, MD, FACS says:

I would say that there are factors that could come into play for this. Was it the same Aesthetician or Physician? Was it the actual only FDA approved SkinPen or was it an off brand? Aside, from this I have been using the SkinPen for over 3 years and haven't heard of anyone with these issues before.
