Microneedling for sensitive, prone to redness skin?

Hi @Marmolade! Microneedling can be used for sensitive skin, but I would recommend being more conservative on the depth. Best of luck to you, Dr. Nima!

Thank
you for your question!  Yes, Microneedling can be done on many skin tones
and types including sensitive and those prone to rosacea.  You may
experience an increase in redness immediately following the treatment which
will resolve.  There are also skin care products that can be used during
or immediately following the treatment to help minimize the redness.  The
depth of the needles can also be adjusted depending on how well your skin
tolerates the treatment to help you get the best results for your specific skin
type. You may want to contact a dermatologist re: your rosacea to optimize your
treatment.  Best of luck!Kind regards,Dr. Mehta

Thank you for your question about microneedling.Yes, you can have microneedling treatment performed. You may experience a longer period of redness after treatment than most patients, but it will subside. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in
your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and
that it is safe for you to have treatment with



I hope this helps.

Yes you can have micro needling even if you are prone to redness and rosacea. You might be pink for the day depending upon your degree of reactivity.

Thinner skin can sometimes be treated to help thicken the area however I don't feel it is good for people who have sensitive skin, such as rosacea, we've found that it can cause additional flareups.
