Skin worse after Microneedling! - Desperate.

Question

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.

I suggest seeing an expert for treatment, as a combination approach is needed for the best outcomes.  Posting before and after photos in the same standardized light would be helpful.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello Becuteforme,I would recommend consulting with your provider. It is not common to create more scars with microneedling or chemical peels unless they were not done by a professional.It is a combination of treatments to achieve the best results which includes the appropriate skin care regime. It would be helpful to post photos prior to your treatments. Best to you, Dr Faraz
