Hi @LGlazeuk. Microneedling is a great treatment to reduce enlarged pores. I recommend seeking treatments from experienced processionals for optimal results. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Redness after this is normal we have our patients do PDT after therapy with topically applied growth factors and the healing speeds up exponentially!  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi @jennygao23! I would recommend avoiding microneedling around active acne to prevent the spread of bacteria. However, if you are doing RF Microneedling like Morpheus 8, you are able to get this procedure done with active acne. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

I don't recommend performing microneedling on yourself. These procedures should be done by an expert. I always combine microneedling with prp and laser treatments to get the best results. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
