Is it safe to do microneedling or PRP if I have port wine stain on my face?

March 17, 2021
Asked By:marmar00 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

I have done plenty of laser treatment to remove my port wine stain. However, the laser has caused hyperpigmentation and I'm just wondering if I can do PRP, since I heard they are good for hyperpigmentation and making skin texture more even. Knowing portwine stain is vascular, I'm not quite sure if it's safe to microneedling and/or PRP. Thank you.
