I’m 3 days after microneedling, I have “ track marks," what should I do? (photos)

Question

3 days post microneedling and my face looks horrible , looks like track marks on forehead after skin has peeled, under eyes look gaulded, sides of nose scabbed , and black pin point dots. Skin is peeling but the same marks are on new skin. Is this normal ?

It can take several days for micro needling results to settle. I recommend following up with a cosmetic dermatologist for skincare and after care recommendations. I always combine microneedling with prp and lasers to get the best outcomes. We do treatments every 3-6 weeks. Best, Dr. Emer

The #1 most important post procedure instruction is to ABSOLUTELY get no sun.....not even through the windows of your home. Patients with olive skin must protect from hyper pigmentation from sun on a healing treatment.
Secondly, follow all directions on frequent application of products to your face; for example collagen growth hormone gels, hyaluronic acid, etc. Post procedure products help your skin to heal and provide "barrier protection" (keep you from drying out).
Lastly, do call your physician or aesthetician for advice....he or she will know you best (and what depth of micro needling you were treated at), which will determine if your symptoms are appropriate for this day of healing.
