September 4, 2017
Asked By:chussy in Penang,

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.
