Nail scratches on face - would Microneedling or Dermapen help? (Photo)

May 6, 2025
Asked By:Bat17 in поселение Сосенское, Moskva, Russia

I recently got nail scratches on my face, and now they’ve developed into hyperpigmentation. I’ve started using a scar cream, but I’m feeling impatient and frustrated with the appearance of the scars. Is it too early to consider microneedling or a dermapen procedure? Are there any other effective topical treatments I could try in the meantime?
