Does getting your hair bleached after microneedling affect the process?

Question

I got my hair done the day of microneedling with PRP. I had bleach highlights and had to sit under the dryer for 30 min, it looks like some dark spots have appeared on my forehead even though I covered my face with a towel during it. Did I affect the healing process by doing that?

bleaching hair doesnt affect the skin.For facial rejuvenation I would suggest a combination approach of :
1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling
2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors
3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant regularly and a few times a year Fraxel, Viva, Co2/Erbium
4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill
5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting
6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at restBest, Dr. Emer.

Bleaching your hair should not affect the results of microneedling.However, now there are now much better products to use during micro-needling than PRP because PRP is strongly pro-inflammatory which is not good. In my office we do all our micro-needling treatments using a serum from ProCell Therapies that is specially made for this purpose. This serum contains high concentrations of growth factors derived from human bone marrow stem cells and has been proven to be very anti-inflammatory.
