Is this normal after 72 hours post Microneedling? I had normal clear skin prior but did it for pore reduction. (photo)

Hi @suemiya! Yes, this is normal 72 hours after a microneedling treatment. I recommend hydrating your skin with a Hyaluronic Acid serum. Best of luck to you, Dr. Nima!

Microneedling causes redness, scabs and irritation.  That is normal.
For facial rejuvenation I would suggest a combination approach of :

1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling
2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors
3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant regularly and a few times a year Fraxel, Viva, Co2/Erbium
4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill
5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting
6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest

Microneedling creates a large number of tiny punctures on your face, which your body responds to by initiating repair. The peeling will be minimal, similar to a mild sunburn.
After a microneedling procedure, it is also common to have a crusted texture around the area where the microneedling was done. This is perfectly normal. The duration of the crusted texture and the extent of the area affected will generally depend on the depth of the microneedling. Contact your physician's office if you have any further problems or if you develop worsening redness and tenderness in the treated area.
