I had 3 microneedling session, 2 weeks apart. My therapist used hyaluronic acid. Other than a bit of redness I had no side affects. I had my 4th treatment and she used collagen gel with the treatment. I had a severe reaction afterwards. I went to see my GP and prescribed a 5 day course of prednisalone steroid tablets. The manufacturer of the gel says the collagen gel should not have been used alongside microneedling treatments. Has anyone any information on this please ?

Your best answer will come from the physician performing the microneedling. As a rule of thumb Retin A is a skin irritant that helps in creating new collagen fibers and stimulating DNA, but applied to the skin where microchannels have been created by the microneedles can be very irritating. Wit...
Microneedling is very safe in pregnancy. As far as using stem cells you should feel confident only if they are using your own stem cells without adding any chemical to them.
Good luck.
Thanks for your question. The skin that falls off will have no effect on your final result. It is a natural part of your skin rejuvenation. I would recommend you continue the post-procedure skin care regimen you were given by your treatment provider. Warm regards.
