Hi @islandgrams1! Regular microneedling is safe with a pacemaker. However, RF microneedling is questionable. I would recommend you get a clearance from your cardiologist. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
If you get to a point where you are happy with scar reduction, you can stop. There is ongoing collagen remodeling in the body and you may or may not need additional treatments. Maintenance microneedling, otherwise, is recommended for skin tightening, facial wrinkles, stretch marks ..Dr H K...
