Will microneedling cause micro tears in the skin rather than true "micro channels" and therefore be potentially harmful? (photo)

It is difficult to answer this question because there can be several different answers. Some patients do not want an aggressive treatment, so we may not go as deep, this patient will still have some pink/redness in the skin and the skin will feel very tight, where another patient may want...
