Skin worse after Microneedling! - Desperate.

June 7, 2016

Starting November 2015 I had my first chemical peel and then I had 3 Microneedling sessions after, month apart each. It has been 3 months and my skin is worse than ever. The small punctures are still there. My skin turns red after working out and sun exposure. My skin has always been dry and I feel like my skin is the porcelain type and doesn't do well with microneedling. It created more scars. It has even made my sagging jowls worse. I am not interested in fillers or botox.
