Hi I had microneedling procedure done one me about a month ago, 2 weeks after the treatment I have very bad breakout. When I have then procedure done I had a few active acne on my cheeck and forehead. those are the areas on my face where I had very bad breakout now, and I kept getting new breakout. I went back to the saloon to asked them what went wrong, they said it is my own skin problem and not because of the procedure. But before this I do not have any major breakout before. Please advise.

Answer: Microneedling and Breaking Out Hello chussy, you can in fact have a breakouts after microneedling. Typically, this happens when there is already an active breakout while the microneedling is being done. If the needle penetrates the infected area, it is then likely to spread to other areas of the face. The breakouts can also be caused by many other reasons as well as stress, hormones, and if the area was touched after the treatment while it was still healing. Don't be discouraged by the inflammation. Microneedling is still a fantastic procedure that has many benefits. It is great for diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, as well as acne scarring. I have very extensive experience with microneedling and my practice currently offers microneedling at $249. Please review my RealSelf profile for examples of this procedure. Thank you

Answer: Yes it can If you don't avoid the areas around the acne you can introduce the bacteria to other places. So it is possible. I would try a course of antibiotic cream or pills to take care of that possibility.
