Is it okay to do a 2.5mm microneedling one month after Radiesse filler for acne scars?

Asked By:fernando08 in Chicago, IL

I'm getting Radiesse filler in my cheeks to improve acne scars (especially in the area of the cheekbones), and I want to continue with the dermaroller treatment (I've had 6 so far with a 2mm roller), but I'm afraid the long needles will penetrate, "move" or even spread the filler. I've read the needles never penetrate to their full length and that the skin is thick enough not to allow even a 2.5mm roller to do so, but I'm still concerned the results of the injection will be lost or reduced.
