Can Microneedling (Micropen) dry out skin permanently?

December 5, 2016
Asked By:Luna2020 in New York, NY

I had Microneedling done at a clinic. I have extremely oily skin, but it's a mature skin with some laxity, large pores, small age spots & a lot of dead skin under the chin, so my goal was better texture. I bronzed & peeled for a few days. After, didn't see much improvement. It's now been 3 months and my skin has lost some of its oiliness. On the other hand, the dead skin under the chin came back full force. I can't find anything on MN drying out the skin long term.
