Can microneedling cause an already existing mole to grow bigger?

Question

I haven't actually done microneedling and I'm still debating between microneeling as another treatment. I have tiny moles on my face hearers and there and while I don't mind their existence I wouldn't want them to grow anybigger most of them are tiny but one is a decent size I actually like it. I think it's pretty but I wouldn't want to be come this huge Iglesias mess on my face.

Microneedling will not make your tiny moles bigger. But make sure the procedure is performed by a qualified physician. In my office I use the patient's own PRP for better results.
Good luck.

Hi little lolita,First, do see a board certified dermatologist to check whether the "mole" is really a mole and not a wart. Also, the mole should be checked whether it is benign. As for microneedling, it won't really encourage mole growth but it is best to avoid the area.All the best,Justin Harper, M.D.
