I had PRP injected with a syringe followed by microneedling done. The microneedling depth was 0.5-1.5 according to the nurse who did the procedure. 3 days later I had sharp pain in my jaw/ear. then I felt dizzy for 1 week, ending up with an “inner ear infection”.

I had a history shingles as well/ I had informed her.
