Is hyperpigmentation normal after microneedling? (Photos)

September 8, 2016
Asked By:biggurl in Columbus, OH

Got microneedling done today. Immediately was really red. The practitioner said she went really heavy over my dark spots. (Under eye/cheek area) After going home and the initial redness faded, areas that she went really heavy have dark pigmentation. Is this permanent? Is it normal to turn dark after microneedling? And there appears to be stripes on my forehead.
