Nima Shemirani, MD · Answer

Hi @Birina! This is an excellent question. There is a chance of reactivating psoriasis at microneedling sites. You can try a patch test and see how you react. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Jerry Tan, MD, FRCPC · Answer

Patients with psoriasis can develop psoriasis at sites of skin injury. Microneedling induces multiple pinpoint areas of skin injury. There is a potential of inducing psoriasis at microneedling sites. A small test area on the side of the cheek near the hairline may be of value to assess this potential in the individual patient.

If you have active psoriasis on the face, then I      would not recommend treating on the actual psoriasis plaque. You can treat      around the area, safely.
