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

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.
