Is it okay to microneedle/Derma Roll different body parts at the same time?

Question

I know you have to wait a few weeks in between derma rolling sessions on your face. But what I want to know is, can you derma roll different body parts at the same time? For example, if I want to derma roll my face and chest, would doing both at the same time cause any problems or lessen the affect if I hadn't done them at the same time? If I can't do them at the same time, then how do you derma roll multiple parts of the body without lessening the benefits?

Yes, you can have microneedling performed on multiple areas at the same time. I always combine microneedling with prp and lasers to get the best outcomes. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi, 
You are right to think that "damaging" many areas of the body, might diminish the effect of the treatment overall. Theoretically, the more damage you have, the more resources that your body has to ante up to repair the damage and that may diminish the effect. I would stick to 1-2 areas every 2-4 weeks if you are doing microneedling without PRP. If you are using PRP, then you can probably expand that to 4 areas as that assists with the repair process. Altogether, it really depends on how good your personal healing system is. If you cut yourself and heal really rapidly, your body can probably sustain more at once, but if you notice you take longer to heal then you probably cannot. 
All my best

Hi ChinTroubles,You can microneedle different parts of the body in the same appointment but the total size should be limited to 8 x 11 incles. Several areas won't affect the healing or the effectiveness of the procedure. It is limited because we use numbing when performing microneedling and we don't want to give you too much anesthetic.All the best, Justin Harper, M.D.
