What are the typical side effects from Endymed Micro Needling? Is redness/rough skin 48 hours after the procedure normal?(Photo)

Thank you for sharing the photos and details of your procedure. The RF microneedling with Endymed  treatment is good for all skin types with minimal downtime.The Intensif microneedling is an amazing procedure for fine lines, pores, wrinkles, sagging skin, scars and stretch marks. I like the RF Microneedling results after subcision for my Acne Scar patients. The combination of PRP, RF microneedling and skinpen is outstanding. The pre and post procedure care, the products applied immediately after the RF microneedling are important in obtaining the best outcome.We request our patients to follow strict skin care routine before and after with Alastin Nectar,Sunscreen with Zinc +Titanium, and Stratacel cream.The prolonged downtime and redness could be due to pre existing skin condition, type of product applied after the procedure and the technique.  When in doubt always get reevaluated by your physician.Best WishesDr. Shanthala

Hello kmpettit, It's totally normal for your skin to appear red and rough after you've had microneedling done, but the majority of the redness should subside with 24 hours. If the treatment was more aggressive, the redness can last longer. Best of Luck!

Waiting a month after IPL to do microneedling is recommended.  Typically 1- 3 days of redness after microneedling is expected. With more aggressive treatments it takes longer for the healing process.For some conditions(ie. scarring) aggressive treatments are necessary to get the desired results. If this does not continue to improve discuss your concerns with your physician.

Hi! Thanks for your question. Actually, the wait timefor microneedling post photo facials would just be around a month. Treatmentprocedures such as Endymed Microneedling have expected after effects thatinclude redness among others. This is expected to occur and should go away inless than a day or 24 hours. However, it could also persist longer than thatshould your doctor use higher parameters. Higher parameters are often used toachieve better results.
Microneedling is safe and has little to no sideeffects for most patients. However, you can expect some after effects such asyours since the procedure technically involves creating tiny injuries on theskin. The natural response of the skin is to heal these tiny injuries therebycausing some swelling and redness post the procedure. Others may evenexperience mild flare-ups of acnes and/or milia or small bumps under your skin.These should disappear on their own though. It may take as fast as less than aday to a couple of days. If these persist longer, you can visit your doctoragain or look for a second opinion. Make sure to consult only with boardcertified plastic surgeons.
Hope this is helpful!

We’ve seen very nice results from
microneedling for acne scars.
In my practice, we use the SkinPen™ for microneedling, and the final outcome
for acne scars can be very impressive. One of the benefits of microneedling in
general is the minimal risk of side effects, particularly if you visit a board
certified plastic surgeon who is well-versed in the technique. However, since
the procedure does involve creating controlled micro-injuries to promote the
skin’s natural healing response, it’s common to notice redness and swelling
after a session. Some people may experience a mild acne flare-up, or tiny white
bumps under the skin called milia. Any of these concerns should dissipate
rapidly.

You waited long enough, the recommendation is to wait at least 1 month after laser/IPL treatments.The  expected  redness  after  Endymed  Microneedle  Rf treatments  is  less than 24 hours. It maybe  longer if  higher parameters  are used . Do not worry.  Redness  will completely  disappear  with  special  treatment.  From my  experience  with system the  higher parameters  used  will most probably allow  better  clinical results. attached  a  nice  thermal  movie  I took  of the Endymed Intensif  showing how  the  skin is  gently  warmed  to  trigger the buildup of  new  collagen. 

Give it a few more days, this should resolve within a week.  Inflammation may be present and you may experience some temporary redness/pinkness. I've seen patients experience a rash on areas treated from the RF.
