Should I stop taking my antidepressant SSRI meds before and after RF microneedling given they could increase risk of bleeding?

Asked By:abdulskinprogress77 in Los Angeles, CA

Hi, I have an upcoming RF microneedling session scheduled and I was wondering if SSRIs should be stopped before and after the session. If so, exactly how many days should I stop taking them before my procedure? And for how long after? My psychologist told me SSRIs on paper can inhibit clot formation because of serotonin. Is this relevant in the case of micro needling with Radiofrequency? Thank You
