I sleep with a CPAP mask that covers my face's bottom half (bridge of my nose, cheeks, chin). Changing masks, skipping the cpap, and sleeping on my back are not options for me. It seems that peels, microneedling and other procedures for fine lines require that the face be uncovered for at least 24 hrs to prevent bad outcomes. Are there doctors that would only do microneedling on my forehead, since that isn't covered by my cpap mask? Are there procedures that would be an option for me?
