Asked By:pamberk in Chicago, IL

I had my first microneedling session about 8 weeks ago with a technician who uses “SkinPen”. While I feel like it did work somewhat on my face - particularly my eyes area & cheeks - it seems to have made my neck look much worse. In lost elasticity in my neck. So my neck actually looks worse now. Why ??
