This is tough to answer without pictures to determine if what you're experiencing isn't typical. However, it is very common to have itching, redness and even some swelling after microneedling for a few days and this is due to inflammation and histamine release. I do recommend doing microneedling with prp for best results. If you remain concerned, contact your Dr. Best, Dr. Emer
Micro-needling is performed at my practice and the patients are red and swollen post treatment. I would suggest going to see your Dr. who performed the procedure since it is "extreme" swelling and itching that you describe. Without a picture, it's difficult to guess the severity. Swelling, itching, and redness is typical for a few days but is always best to see your Dr. to be sure. Good luck!
Thank you for question. It is difficult to give you an answer without any photos. However, it is common to have some itchiness, redness and swelling after microneedling treatment. If you still have concerns follow up with your treating physician.

It is hard to determine exactly what your experiencing without photos. Best to you, Dr Faraz

Microneedling is safe to use on the legs and may help to blend the scar with the surrounding skin. Leg skin will heal more slowly then facial skin, so the lack of heat and minimal trauma with microneedling is a safe way to start treating a small scar in this area, however the results may be ...
Everytime you get microneedling, it will be helpful. I do recommend adding prp to your microneedling treatments to optimize your results. See an expert for best outcomes. Best, Dr. Emer
Thank you for asking about your ice pick scars.True ice pick scars will not be improved with microneedling. Such scars go right through the skin. The reason your microneedling is so expensive is the harvesting of the PRP. It is a highly enzymatic platelet layer that has many medical uses but i...
Hello Chough, Absolutely! Microneedling w/PRP will stimulate collagen formation resulting in a thickening of the upper layers of the skin, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, tightening the skin, and shrinking of the pores with very minimal downtime.
