Can microneedling cause permanent redness?

September 25, 2017
Asked By:richtosq1 in Boston, Massachusetts

I’ve done 3 dermapen sessions, the first two were with 1.5mm and came out great. The third one I did I used 1.5mm then tapped each area for a few seconds with 2mm. There was blood but it was the same as the first two treatments. The problem is that it’s been almost 3 weeks and there is still slight redness from where it was treated?? It’s not super dark but still noticeable and annoying? Will this ever go away? What can help? Thanks!
