Is punctate bleeding necessary needed to get the best results with a micro needling/derma pen session?

Asked By:ethandean

I had a mico needling treatment for my face. The numbing cream contained epinephrine. It suppressed any bleeding, the area was blanched. I am wondering if I would get better results if the numbing cream didn't interfere with the punctate bleeding response. Is there a disadvantage in suppressing that reaction? Does the punctate bleeding actually aid in a better response to the treatment?
